Abstract
A method for limiting the current in a device of 'H-bridge' type having a plurality of transistors including the following steps: detection of a failure in a transistor from among the plurality of transistors; disabling of the transistor in which a failure has been detected; detection in the transistors opposite to the transistor, of the discharging of the energy accumulated at output; and disabling of the other transistors of the plurality of transistors. A system for limiting the current in a device of 'H-bridge' type having a plurality of transistors is also disclosed.
