Abstract: In some examples, a device includes a control circuit configured to deliver driving signals to a switch. The device also includes a testing circuit configured to cause the control circuit to toggle the switch at a first instance and determine a parameter magnitude at the switch at a second instance after toggling the switch at the first instance by at least determining a voltage magnitude at the switch at the second instance. The testing circuit is also configured to cause the control circuit to toggle the switch after the second instance and determine a parameter magnitude at the switch at a third instance after toggling the switch after the second instance. The testing circuit is further configured to generate an output based on the determined parameter magnitudes at the switch at the second and third instances.

Abstract: An electronic circuit includes an output, and a first supply circuit and a second supply circuit, which are each connected to the output. The first supply circuit and the second supply circuit each include a supply input; a first circuit node; a first electronic switch; a first rectifier element connected in parallel with the first electronic switch; at least one second electronic switch that is connected between the supply input and the first circuit node; at least one second rectifier element that is connected in parallel with the at least one second switch, wherein the at least one second rectifier element and the first rectifier element are connected in antiseries with one another; and a control circuit. The control circuit activates the first switch and the second switch and receives a supply voltage from the first circuit node at a supply input.
