    摘要: A power device fault detection circuit includes a first fault detector configured to measure an output signal of at least one power device and output a first fault signal when a voltage of the output signal of the at least one power device exceeds a first voltage reference level after a first time period; and a second fault detector configured to measure an output signal of the at least one power device and output a second fault signal when a voltage of the output signal of the at least one power device exceeds a second voltage reference level after a second time period, where the first time period implemented by the first fault detector is shorter than the second time period implemented by the second fault detector.
