In some examples, a gate driver includes a gate sense pin and a gate sense circuit configured to couple to a node of a transistor via the gate sense pin. The gate sense circuit includes an overcurrent detection circuit configured to detect a first fault condition based on the node before the transistor turns on in a soft switching mode. The gate sense circuit also includes a Miller plateau detection circuit configured to detect a second fault condition based on the node when the transistor is turning on in a hard switching mode.
