Abstract
In accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for confirming kickback is provided. In some embodiments, the method for confirming kickback comprises, in response to an indication of a kickback occurrence, comparing an input current to a predetermined current threshold; if the input current is greater than the predetermined current threshold for a first predetermined amount of time, generating a kickback interrupt signal; if the input current is not greater than the predetermined current threshold, comparing an input voltage to a predetermined voltage threshold; if the input voltage is less than the predetermined voltage threshold for a second predetermined amount of time; generating a kickback interrupt signal; and if the input voltage is not less than the predetermined voltage threshold and the input current is not greater than the predetermined current threshold, generating a false positive (FP) signal.
