The invention belongs to the technical field of power supply, and particularly relates to an
overvoltage protection circuit. The input end is used for being connected with a power adapter, the output end is used for being connected with a load, the first switching device is connected between the input end and the output end in series, the
control unit is connected with the controlled end of the first switching device, and the
control unit is used for detecting whether the
voltage of the output end of the power adapter exceeds a
voltage threshold value or not. The first switching device is controlled to be switched off under the condition that a
voltage threshold value is exceeded, the first switching device is controlled to be switched on under the condition that the voltage threshold value is not exceeded, the voltage threshold value is larger than the rated voltage of the load, the difference between the voltage threshold value and the rated voltage of the load is smaller than a voltage difference threshold value, and the voltage difference threshold value is larger than 0. By adopting the
overvoltage protection circuit provided by the invention, the connection between the power adapter and the load can be
cut off at the first time under the condition that the power adapter of which the output end voltage is greater than the rated voltage of the load is used for charging the load, so that the problem that the load is burnt out due to
overvoltage is avoided.
