    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To totally remove a reverse-direction current and to minimize the bias current of a protection circuit by using an additional MOS transistor to switch off a second DMOS protection transistor during the period under 'below ground' condition. SOLUTION: A 'below ground' voltage condition, for example, of the integrated substrate of a device forming a diagnostic interface is detected by a comparator, which switches off a current generator I through a logic AND gate. At the same time, a current generator I2 which keeps an MOS transistor M at a high impedance state during the normal operation of a control unit is also switched off while a current generator I1 is switched on through an impedance to immediately decide switching-on of the MOS transistor M. Thus, a reverse- direction current flowing through a diagnostic output line VOUT is totally removed, while a bias current level is minimized.

    Abstract: A system is described for the diagnosis of a driver (D) of the type adapted to detect one or more circuit anomalies which can occur in the said driver, including: voltage comparator circuits (10, 20) adapted to generate diagnostic logic signals (F1, F2, F3) each indicative of the existence of a corresponding type of anomaly; and a coding circuit (M, SM) adapted to receive these diagnostic signals (F1, F2, F3) and to output information relating to an overall operating state of the circuit. The coding circuit (M, SM) includes a first portion adapted to provide at its output first logic signals (SHB, SHG, OL) indicative of the last anomaly occurred since a system reset operation, and a second portion for coding such first logic signals (SHB, SHG, OL). The second portion includes a sequential logic network (SM) adapted to: receive the first logic input signals (SHB, SHG, OL) and at least one second logic signal (IN) indicative of the current operating phase of the driver (D); and achieve, as a function of the said first and second logic signals (SHB, SHG, OL; IN) a stable internal state such as to determine at the output information in the form of an N bit coded word representative of an occurred anomaly, of a condition of absence of anomaly in the current operating phase, or of a condition of absence of anomaly in any operating phase.
