A current driver has a short circuit protection circuit which monitors the magnitude of the current driver's output voltage. The protection circuit looks for the failure of the output voltage to either change to a prescribed non short-circuit representative value within a prescribed time window after the onset of a voltage transition at the input node, or to maintain that value as dictated by the input signal. If either of these conditions occurs, the protection circuit takes action to reduce the driver's output current to a relatively small 'short circuit' current.
