Abstract

An electronic device includes a driver that is connected with a pin, receives an input signal, and outputs an output signal to the pin in response to the input signal, a core circuit that transfers the input signal to the driver, and a monitor circuit that receives the input and output signals and detects a stuck voltage state of the output signal based on the input and output signals. The monitor circuit includes a first detection circuit that detects the stuck voltage state when the input and output signals are logically incorrect, a second detection circuit that detects the stuck voltage state when the input and output signals are logically correct and when the output signal is at a low level, and a third detection circuit that detects the stuck voltage state when the input and output signals are logically correct and when the output signal is at a high level.
