Abstract
A shoot-through protection circuit includes a current sensor providing a sensor signal connected to a comparator input via at least a burden resistor. A switch protection circuit including a protection input connected to an output of the comparator and a plurality of outputs. Each of the outputs is connected to a corresponding switch in a plurality of stacked switches. Wherein the switch protection circuit is configured to drive each switch of the plurality of stacked switches open in response to a positive output signal from the comparator.
