ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a method for sensing an output fault condition is disclosed. The method includes monitoring an error signal that indicates an output fault condition, and monitoring an input signal having a duration. An error flag is set if a fast switching mode is detected and if the error signal is asserted within a specified time interval during the input signal duration.
