    摘要: The invention describes an apparatus and method for detecting a short circuit to a battery voltage when driving a piezoelectric element, for example, used as an actuator in a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus and method are characterized in that separate switches are used for selecting a piezoelectric element to be operated and for selecting the operation that is to be performed on the piezoelectric element. A short circuit to battery voltage is detected by first activating the switches to select a piezoelectric element. For a predetermined time interval, the invention monitors for abnormal currents flowing in series with the piezoelectric element. If abnormal currents are detected, an error signal is generated indicating a short circuit to battery voltage. If no abnormal currents are detected during the predetermined time interval, then the switches for selecting a charging or discharging operation are activated to continue with the normal cycling of the piezoelectric elements.
