Abstract
One example discloses an open-circuit detector, comprising: a first current source configured to inject a current at an output of a closed-loop circuit; a detector configured to monitor a voltage of the closed-loop circuit; wherein the detector is configured to indicate whether the voltage monitored exceeds a predetermined threshold voltage; a controller configured to regulate the current injected by the first current source; wherein the controller is configured to set an open-circuit flag if the current injected caused the voltage to exceed the predetermined threshold voltage.
