  • Patent number: 10727665
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a short-circuit protection apparatus and method. The short-circuit protection apparatus includes a current detection circuit, a control circuit, and a voltage detection circuit. The current detection circuit detects an output current of an output circuit and outputs a current detection signal when the detected current is greater than a preset current. The control circuit receives the current detection signal and controls the output circuit to be turned off The voltage detection circuit detects an output voltage of the output circuit. When the output voltage is not in the preset voltage range, the output voltage is detected continuously When the output voltage is in the preset voltage range, the control circuit receives the voltage detection signal for controlling the output circuit.

  • Patent number: 10554184
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a short-circuit protection apparatus and method. The short-circuit protection apparatus includes a current detection circuit, a control circuit, a threshold regulating circuit, and a timing circuit. The current detection circuit outputs a detection signal when a detected current is greater than a preset current. The control circuit outputs first and second control signals. The threshold regulating circuit outputs first and second threshold voltages, the first threshold voltage controls the output circuit to operate in first voltage threshold mode and start a first timekeeping by the timing circuit. The first timekeeping is restarted when the detection signal is received before the time of the first timekeeping reaches the first preset value. The output circuit operates in second voltage threshold mode when the time of the first timekeeping reaches the first preset value.
