Abstract
Switch modules, driver circuits for switch modules and corresponding methods are provided. In an implementation, a switch module includes a transistor switch including a control terminal, a first load terminal and a second load terminal, and a short circuit detection circuit configured to detect a short circuit state between the first load terminal and the second load terminal and to electrically couple the control terminal and the first load terminal in response to detecting the short circuit state. The short circuit detection circuit is supplied by a voltage between the control terminal and the first load terminal.
