Abstract
Disclosed is a method for detecting a short-circuit in an H-bridge electronic circuit, including: activating a current source on a first test branch; taking a first potential measurement of one of the output terminals; activating, if the first potential measurement is substantially different from the potential of the power supply terminal to which the first test branch is connected, a current source on a second, diametrically opposite test branch; taking a second potential measurement of each output terminal; and signalling the detection of a localized short-circuit in the output terminal having the potential resulting from the second potential measurement that is closest to the potential resulting from the first potential measurement.
