Abstract:
In some examples, a gate driver includes a gate sense pin and a gate sense circuit configured to couple to a node of a transistor via the gate sense pin. The gate sense circuit includes an overcurrent detection circuit configured to detect a first fault condition based on the node before the transistor turns on in a soft switching mode. The gate sense circuit also includes a Miller plateau detection circuit configured to detect a second fault condition based on the node when the transistor is turning on in a hard switching mode.

Claim (Index 9):
A system, comprising:\n a transistor comprising a gate terminal, a collector terminal, and an emitter terminal, wherein the transistor comprises a first parasitic capacitor between the gate and the emitter terminals and a second parasitic capacitor between the gate and the collector terminals, wherein the first and second parasitic capacitors couple at a node; and a gate driver comprising an output pin and a gate sense pin, wherein the output pin couples to the gate terminal and the gate sense pin couples to the output pin and the gate terminal at the node, wherein the gate driver comprises a control logic circuit configured to determine whether the transistor is in a hard switching mode or a soft switching mode based on a signal at the node.
