Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a digital television signal input interface switch protection circuit, belonging to the technical field of electronics. Background Art

[0002] The digital TV signal input interface switch protection circuit is a circuit used to protect the digital TV signal input interface, usually including overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, short circuit protection and other functions to ensure the stability and reliability of the digital TV signal input interface.

[0003] The method of controlling the digital TV signal input interface switch protection circuit by software in the prior art has achieved flexibility and programmability, but its drawbacks are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0004] Increased system complexity: Relying on chip I / O and complex software programming not only prolongs the design and debugging cycle, but also requires higher technical skills from maintenance personnel. This complexity increases the probability of error, such as logical errors or improper configuration, which may cause the protection function to fail.

[0005] Response delay problem: Since software logic judgment is required, there is a natural disadvantage in processing speed compared to direct hardware control. In some time-sensitive application scenarios (such as fast channel switching or signal source switching), delays may affect the user experience.

[0006] Ongoing maintenance burden: As software is iterated and new features are added, the logic and code of the protection circuit must be adjusted accordingly, which not only increases the workload of the development team but may also introduce new errors or compatibility issues.

[0007] Resource consumption and power consumption: Software control solutions require processor resources and power, which is a disadvantage for modern electronic devices that pursue low power consumption and high efficiency, especially in mobile or battery-powered devices.

[0008] Performance limitations: Differences in TV motherboard performance may cause the protection mechanism to respond slowly when processing high-quality video streams, affecting picture quality and stability, especially when transmitting at high resolution or high frame rate.

[0009] Compatibility and standardization challenges: The diversity of different operating systems and hardware platforms requires that the software part of the protection circuit be highly adaptable, which increases development costs and makes it difficult to ensure optimal results on all platforms.

[0010] Increased security risks: The software level is easily targeted by hacker attacks. Once the protection measures are cracked or malware invades, not only will the protection function fail, but it may also bring security risks to the entire system, such as data leakage or system manipulation.

[0011] Poor environmental adaptability: External environmental factors, such as electromagnetic interference, may directly affect the stable operation of the software, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the protection circuit. This vulnerability is particularly prominent in certain harsh or unstable environments.

[0012] In summary, the traditional mechanical switch protection circuit has a slower response speed and poor control accuracy, and its reliability and adjustability need to be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0039] Short circuit protection: When the output terminal ATV_in is short-circuited, the source potential of the PMOS tube QT5 drops to 0, Vsg5 = 0V, the PMOS tube QT5 is turned off, and the circuit is disconnected.

[0040] Overvoltage protection: Resistors RT42, RT43 and RT44 are connected between the base and emitter of transistor QT3. When the voltage at the input terminal +5V_Normal is too high, the voltage is higher, and the voltage Veb3 between the base and emitter of transistor QT3 is greater than its conduction voltage, and transistor QT3 is turned on. The gate of PMOS tube QT2 is connected to the collector of transistor QT3 (the emitter of transistor QT3 is connected to the input terminal +5V_Normal), the potential rises rapidly, Vsg2 drops to 0 quickly, PMOS tube QT2 is turned off, and the circuit is disconnected.
