Abstract:
A system may include an output driving stage comprising a first switch configured to selectively open and close an electrical path between a first supply voltage and an output terminal of the output driving stage and a second switch configured to selectively open and close an electrical path between a second supply voltage and the output terminal of the output driving stage, wherein the second supply voltage is lower than the first supply voltage. The system may also include detection and protection circuitry configured to monitor a physical quantity indicative of the second supply voltage and responsive to the physical quantity exceeding an overvoltage threshold, electrically isolate the output terminal from the second supply voltage.
