Abstract
In some examples, a circuit is configured to receive an input signal and deliver, based on the input signal, a charging current to a capacitor. The circuit may be further configured to receive an output voltage that indicates a charge on the capacitor. The circuit may be further configured to determine that the output voltage is shorted to a reference ground. The circuit may be further configured to reduce, based on determining that the output voltage is shorted to the reference ground, the charging current.
