Using various techniques, each transistor in the DC-DC converter has a corresponding voltage detector capable of comparing the difference between the first voltage at the first terminal of the transistor and the second voltage at the second terminal of the transistor to a threshold voltage. can have Thereafter, based on the at least one comparison, the controller may detect an open circuit or a short circuit in one or more of the transistors regardless of the direction of the load current in the DC-DC converter.
