Abstract
A device for protecting an electronic computer against a short circuit. The electronic computer including a shunt resistor, a first computer pin and being coupled to at least one sensor comprising a first sensor pin and a second sensor pin. Furthermore including a transistor driving module having a first driving pin coupled to a first shunt pin, a second driving pin coupled to a positive power supply, a second shunt pin being coupled firstly to a first sensor pin and secondly to a first comparator pin of a comparator module and designed to no longer supply electric power to the sensor through the first sensor pin when a short circuit is detected at the sensor.
