Short Circuit Detection Utilization Analysis under Uniprocessor EDF Scheduling

Accounting for all possible short circuits in a direct current circuit can prove to be an arduous process. To avoid unintended operation and circuit damage, short circuit protection may be implemented via hardware or software. This paper views the short circuit detection problem as a hardware-software codesign problem in which an inductor installed in a DC circuit is designed alongside a microcontroller. Although short circuit detection is often a mission-critical process, we provide a framework depicting methods by which a short circuit may be detected by a microcontroller. Additionally, we establish the utilization requirement of the proposed methods and subsequently the remaining utilization under Uniprocessor EDF scheduling.
