Abstract: A short-circuit protection circuit of a light emitting diode (LED) is for protecting a plurality of LED strings from a short-circuit condition. The short-circuit protection circuit includes a short-circuit protection unit and a control unit. The short-circuit protection unit is coupled to the plurality of LED strings to execute a short-circuit protection. The control unit coupled to the short-circuit protection unit and the LED strings is configured to control the short-circuit protection unit according to at least one of a feedback voltage and a compensation voltage, so as to determine whether to trigger the short-circuit protection. The feedback voltage is generated from a cross voltage of one of the LED strings, and the compensation voltage is generated according to a comparison result between the feedback voltage and a reference voltage for controlling a power supply of the LED strings.

Abstract: A protection circuit of a DC-DC converter is disclosed. An input terminal of the DC-DC converter receives an input voltage and an output terminal of the DC-DC converter provides an output voltage. The DC-DC converter includes an output stage between the input terminal and the output terminal. The protection circuit includes a current sensor, a comparator, a determining circuit, and a protection control circuit. The current sensor provides a sensing signal. The comparator compares a default over-voltage with the sensing signal to provide an over-current control signal. The determining circuit provides a determining control signal. The protection control circuit determines whether to enable a short protection according to the over-current control signal and the determining control signal.
