SHORT DETECTION CIRCUIT

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a circuit. In at least some examples, the circuit includes an output node at which a voltage for transmission via a differential conductor is present. The circuit further includes a first pull-up network coupled between a voltage supply node and the output node and configured to include a first amount of resistance. The circuit further includes a second pull-up network coupled between a voltage supply node and the output node and configured to include a second amount of resistance. The circuit further includes a comparator having a first input terminal coupled to the output node, a second input terminal configured to receive a reference voltage, and an output terminal configured to output a comparison result.
