  • Overcurrent protection circuit
    Publication number: 20050259375
    Abstract: An overcurrent protection circuit according to the present invention includes: overcurrent detecting means for detecting a flow of an overcurrent in a load circuit; and voltage controlling means for changing a power supply voltage and supplying the resultant power supply voltage to the load circuit. The overcurrent detecting means detects a voltage decrease occurring when an overcurrent is generated, with respect to a voltage supplied to the load circuit during normal operation. The voltage controlling means suppresses an overcurrent flowing in the load circuit based on the voltage decrease.
