Abstract: A circuit protection system for an electronic system includes a platform control hub (PCH), a PCH power chip connected to the PCH, a basic input output system (BIOS), a control unit, and a power supply. The control unit determines the potential of a PW_OK signal from the PCH power chip to get the current state of the electronic system through the BIOS, thereby determining whether the current status of the PW_OK signal corresponds to a predetermined status of the PCH power chip which is defined in the current state of the electronic system. If the current status of the PW_OK signal does not correspond to the predetermined status, the control unit outputs a system PW_OK signal of low potential to disable the PCH power chip, and outputs an enable signal to the PCH which outputs a PS_ON signal of high potential to the power supply to shutdown the electronic system.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a circuit protection system and a circuit protection method for an electronic system. The circuit protection system includes a main chip, a power chip powering the main chip, a basic input/output system (BIOS) and a control unit. The control unit detects the potential of a PW_OK signal output from the power chip to the main chip, and gets the current state of the electronic system through the BIOS, thereby determining whether the current state of the main chip corresponds to a predetermined state for the main chip which defined in the current state of the electronic system. If not, the control unit outputs a signal to disable the main chip. The present disclosure disables the main chip instantly when the voltage provided thereto is excessive or insufficient, thereby avoiding the damage caused by excessive or insufficient voltage.

Abstract: A resistance measurement circuit used in a power circuit includes an analog to digital converter (ADC), a signal control module, and a potentiometer. The ADC can receive an output voltage from the power circuit and convert the output voltage from the power circuit to digital signals. The signal control module compares two consecutive digital signals to establish any voltage difference according to the comparison. If the voltage difference is outside a predetermined voltage range, the signal control module adjusts the resistance of the potentiometer and the output voltage from the power circuit until the voltage difference is within the predetermined voltage range.
