TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to circuit protection technical field especially is related to a short circuit protection circuit with high side output. BACKGROUND

[0002] Many car switches have high side output function, and the traditional method is to use high side drive chip with short circuit protection, however, such drive chip is high in price, resulting in large cost of short circuit protection circuit, especially under the condition of current market needs to compress cost, therefore, a high cost performance short circuit protection circuit is urgently needed to replace high side drive chip. SUMMARY

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the circuit of this utility model only requires simple components for short-circuit protection and can output a high level. Compared with the existing technology that uses driver chips, it effectively controls costs. When the control signal input terminal is high, transistor Q1 is turned on, and the base of transistor Q2 forms a path through transistor Q1, so transistor Q2 is turned on and the collector outputs a high level. When the current increases, the voltage drop across resistor R131 increases, at which time transistor Q3 is turned on, which increases the current flowing through resistor R129, thus increasing the voltage drop across it and increasing the base voltage of transistor Q2. This reduces the base and emitter voltage drop of transistor Q2, reduces the base current of transistor Q2, and decreases the conduction capability of transistor Q2, preventing transistor Q2 from burning out due to short power supply. When the signal input terminal is closed, the base of transistor Q2 has a stable level through resistor R130, preventing circuit instability. Attached Figure Description

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the circuit of the utility model only needs simple devices to carry out short circuit protection, realizes output high level by controlling triode base current, effectively controls cost compared with the prior art that adopts driving chip, when the control signal input terminal is high level, triode Q1 is turned on, the base of triode Q2 forms a passway through triode Q1, triode Q2 is turned on, and the collector outputs high level to the outside, when the current becomes large, the voltage drop between resistance R131 becomes large, generates 0.7V voltage drop, at this time, triode Q3 is turned on and generates negative feedback, so that the current through resistance R129 becomes large, the voltage drop between two ends becomes large, the base voltage of triode Q2 becomes high, thereby reducing the base and emitter voltage drop of triode Q2, reducing the base current of triode Q2, so that the turn-on ability of triode Q2 decreases, avoiding triode Q2 short power supply and burning out, when the signal input terminal is closed, the base of triode Q2 has a stable level through resistance R130, avoiding unstable circuit.
