Short circuit detection device

A short circuit detection device for use on a circuit layout comprising electronic components connected in parallel, wherein any of the electronic components comprises a first contact and a second contact on the circuit layout, the first contacts of the electronic components connect together, the second contacts of the electronic components are grounded, the device comprising:

• a determination circuit configured to determine whether a short circuit has occurred in the circuit layout;
• and
• a detection circuit configured to determining the specific electronic component or components responsible for the short circuit;
• wherein the determination circuit comprises a power supply, a first operational amplifier, a first switch, a current limiting resistor, and a test clip;
• the first operational amplifier comprises a first inverting input, a first non-inverting input, and a first output;
• the first switch comprises a first control end connecting to the first output, a first connection end, and a second connection end;
• the current limiting resistor connects between the power supply and the test clip;
• the first inverting input connects to a node between the current limiting resistor and the test clip, and the first non-inverting input connects between a node between the current limiting resistor and the power supply;
• the test clip further connects with the first contact of any of the electronic components;
• and
• wherein the detection circuit connects with the first contacts of any two of the electronic components.
