AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables adaptive over voltage protection, reducing the risk of circuit damage by dynamically triggering the over voltage protection circuit only when necessary, thus optimizing circuit protection and reducing component and manufacturing costs.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, when the OVP circuit is enabled according to a fixed upper bound voltage (i.e., corresponding to the maximum output voltage supported by the voltage converter), high withstand voltage components are required for a loading device, thereby leading to increase circuit size and manufacturing cost.
