Abstract
Using various techniques, each transistor in a DC-DC converter can have a corresponding voltage detector that can compare a difference of a first voltage at a first terminal of the transistor and a second voltage at a second terminal of the transistor to a threshold voltage. Then, based on at least one comparison, a controller can detect an open circuit or a short circuit in one or more of the transistors regardless of the direction of the load current in the DC-DC converter.
