A circuit includes an output node, a set of output transistors operative to control the signal level on the output node, a first voltage supply, and a second voltage supply. A hot socket detection circuit identifies when the first voltage supply or the second voltage supply is below a predetermined value indicative of a hot socket condition. In response to a hot socket condition, the hot socket detection circuit generates control signals that place the set of output transistors in a high impedance state. |
