Abstract
A desaturation detection circuit is described that uses two or more desaturation circuit threshold values, which shifts the desaturation threshold value in a normal operational mode to a higher voltage when the active short circuit (ASC) signal is present in a faulted operational mode. Including two or more desaturation detection circuit threshold values allows a lower desaturation threshold value during a normal operational mode and a higher voltage in a faulted operational mode, or mode-dependent threshold value selection.
