Abstract:
A low-side off-detection signal compares the gate signal of a low-side transistor with a predetermined first level to generate a low-side off-detection signal indicating that the low-side transistor is off. The low-side detection transistor is of the same type as the low-side transistor, with the source connected to the ground terminal, and the gate receiving the low-side transistor gate signal. A first resistor is arranged between the drain of the low-side detection transistor and the power supply terminal. A first bypass circuit is arranged in parallel with the first resistor, and is configured to switch to the conduction state when a control signal is a level which instructs the low-side transistor to switch off, and to switch to the cut-off state when the control signal level instructs the low-side transistor to switch on. The drain signal of the low-side detection transistor is output as the low-side off-detection signal.
