When the output current reaches the set limit value, the current flowing through the third P-type MOS tube mP3 of the current limiting circuit increases accordingly, and through the current mirror, the current of the fourth P-type MOS tube mP4 is increased, thereby increasing the pull-up capability of the output signal DRV, thereby limiting the further increase of the current of the first P-type MOS tube P1 of the main path. If the output current continues to increase, the pull-down capability is enhanced, and the input signal CSV of the protection circuit decreases accordingly, causing the second P-type MOS tube Mp2 of the protection circuit to be turned on, and then the third P-type MOS tube Mp3 to be turned on, and finally the output signal OCP of the protection circuit changes from high to low, turning off the ninth N-type MOS tube mN9 of the current limiting circuit, reducing the current of the sixth P-type MOS tube mP6 of the current limiting circuit, thereby reducing the current flowing through the power adjustment tube in the main path, avoiding long-term large current from damaging the power adjustment tube, thereby burning the chip, and improving the stability of the system.
