Abstract

The present invention provides an overvoltage protection circuit comprising at least one overvoltage test point and one electrical level output terminal, wherein the overvoltage test point is used for acquiring a magnitude of voltage of a protected circuit and the electrical level output terminal is used for outputting control level to a power supply module. The overvoltage protection circuit also comprises a divider resistor which is used for adjusting a control voltage value, wherein one end of the divider resistor is connected with the overvoltage test point and the other end is connected with a Zener diode which is conducted by means of a breakdown when the detected magnitude of voltage reaches the control voltage value, wherein the Zener diode is connected with a positively biased conducting base electrode of a triode when the diode is conducted, wherein, the triode is connected with the electrical level output terminal. Correspondingly, the embodiment of the present invention also discloses another overvoltage protection circuit and an overvoltage protection method of a circuit. The implementation of the invention can reduce the cost of circuit through a overvoltage detection protection circuit with flexible discrete component by means of utilizing conducting features of a Zener diode and a crystal triode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of applied electronic circuits, in particular to an overvoltage protection circuit and method. Background technique [0002] Circuits in many electronic products are powered by positive and negative power supplies, for example, field scan integrated circuit boards (integrated circuit, IC) and audio power amplifier ICs are powered by symmetrical positive and negative power supplies. If the power supply is not working properly and the output voltage is too high, it may damage these circuits or ICs. In order to prevent this kind of phenomenon from happening, it is necessary to add overvoltage detection and protection functions to these circuits and ICs. [0003] The function of the overvoltage protection circuit is to ensure that the working voltage of the protected circuit is limited within the safe value range. Control the voltage protection circuit, such as cutting off the power supply to the protected circuit to pre...
