Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method for checking the turn-off capability of an electronic fuse in the form of a MOSFET, said electronic fuse being used as an interrupter switch between a voltage supply and a control device, wherein the MOSFET is turned on during operation as intended and is operated in the linear region, wherein, for checking the turn-off capability, the gate-source voltage of the MOSFET is reduced by a predefined value until a predefined threshold value is reached and, after the threshold value has been reached, the gate-source voltage is increased again to the previous value for turning on the MOSFET, and wherein a check is made to ascertain whether the drain-source voltage of the MOSFET increases as the gate-source voltage is reduced.
