[0025] As mentioned in the background technology, current ordinary power supply outputs cannot achieve complete hardware self-protection and require protection through software AD sampling or IO control. Software intervention has a certain delay and cannot meet the requirements for rapid overload disconnection and self-recovery. To address this problem, the inventors have designed a power supply output protection device, which includes a power supply output protection circuit, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the power output protection circuit includes: a power supply (Power), a first transistor Q1, and a power output terminal EXT-Power. The power supply (Power) is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first transistor Q1, and the second terminal of the first transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the power output terminal EXT-Power. The power output protection circuit also includes a switching module K, a current output regulation module T, and a current output protection module P.

The third terminal of the first transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the current output protection module P. The current output protection module P is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND. The current output protection module P is configured to connect the third terminal of the first transistor Q1 to the ground terminal GND through the current output protection module P when the switch module K is turned off.
[0027] The power supply output is equipped with a protection device. When the power supply is outputting normally, the switching module is turned on, which makes the third terminal of the first transistor electrically connected to the power supply output terminal through the current output regulation module and the switching module. When a short circuit occurs at the power supply output terminal, the switching module is turned off, which disconnects the third terminal of the first transistor from the current output regulation module and connects to the current output protection module and grounds it, thereby entering a low-power output mode. This makes the power supply output circuit completely automatically protected by hardware, with a fast response speed, supporting multiple short circuit scenarios, and a simple hardware architecture.
[0028] Next, in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2 This application is described by way of example.
[0029] Example
[0030] One embodiment of this application provides a power output protection circuit, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the circuit includes:
[0031] Power supply, the output voltage of Power is 12V.
[0032] The power output port EXT-Power-12V is electrically connected to the power supply.
[0033] The first transistor Q1 is a PMOS (possibly a transistor with a metal oscillator and a p-channel), which is an n-type substrate and a MOS transistor that carries current through the flow of holes. The first terminal 1 of the first transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the power supply Power, and the second terminal 2 of the first transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the power output port EXT-Power-12V.
[0034] The current-limiting resistor module consists of a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. The first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the third terminal 3 of the first transistor Q1, and the first resistor R1 is also electrically connected to the second resistor R2. The second resistor R2 is electrically connected to the switching module. When the switching module is turned on, the third terminal 3 of the first transistor Q1, the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the switching module, and the power output port EXT-Power-12V are turned on. By adjusting the current in the third terminal circuit of the first transistor Q1, the output power is limited. The output current of the second terminal of the first transistor Q1 is equal to β times the current generated by the current-limiting resistors R1 and R4 in the third terminal circuit of the first transistor Q1.
[0035] The current-limiting resistor module consists of the first resistor R1 and the third resistor R3. The first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the third terminal 3 of the first transistor Q1, and the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the third resistor R3. The third resistor R3 is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND. When the second terminal of the first transistor Q1 is short-circuited to ground, the switching module is turned off. At this time, the output current of the second terminal of the first transistor Q1 is equal to β times the current-limiting resistors R1 and R6 in the circuit of the third terminal of the first transistor Q1.
[0036] The switching module consists of a second transistor Q2, a fourth resistor R4, and a fifth resistor R5. The fourth resistor R4 is electrically connected to the circuit where the second terminal of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the power output terminal EXT-Power-12V. The fifth resistor R5 is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND. The voltage divider node A of the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5 is electrically connected to the control terminal 3 of the second transistor Q2 to control the opening and closing of the second transistor Q2. The first terminal 1 of the second transistor Q2 is electrically connected to the second resistor R2, and the second terminal 2 of the second transistor Q2 is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND.
[0037] The switching module consists of the third transistor Q3 (transistor), the fourth transistor D1 (diode), the sixth resistor R6, and the seventh resistor R7. The first terminal of the fourth transistor D1 is electrically connected to the circuit where the second terminal of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the power output terminal EXT-Power-12V. The second terminal of the fourth transistor D1 is electrically connected to the sixth resistor R6. The seventh resistor R7 is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND. The voltage divider node B of the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7 is electrically connected to the control terminal 3 of the third transistor Q3. The first terminal 1 of the third transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the second transistor Q2. The second terminal of the third transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND.
[0038] The specific principle of the power output protection circuit is as follows:
[0039] When the power supply is outputting normally,
[0040] When 12V is input to the pin of the first transistor Q1, the first terminal 1 and the second terminal 2 of the first transistor Q1 are instantaneously turned on through the internal parasitic capacitance. The output voltage of the power supply is divided by the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5 and then sent to the control terminal of the second transistor Q2 through the voltage divider node A, so that the second transistor Q2 is turned on. Adjustment pulls the third terminal of the first transistor Q1 down to the ground terminal GND, the first transistor Q1 remains turned on, and the 12V of the power supply is output normally.
[0041] When the power output terminal is short-circuited to ground
[0042] When the EXT-Power-12V output terminal is short-circuited to ground, the power output voltage drops, causing the second transistor Q2 to turn off quickly. After the second transistor Q2 turns off, the third terminal of the first transistor Q1, which was connected to the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, becomes connected to the first resistor R1 and the third resistor R3. The load current of the third terminal of the first transistor Q1 quickly enters the low-power output mode.
[0043] When the EXT-Power-12V output is short-circuited to the power supply, if the short-circuit power exceeds the maximum regulation threshold of the fourth transistor D1 (i.e., when the output voltage is 12V), the fourth transistor D1 will break down and turn on. The fourth transistor D1 will conduct the voltage exceeding 12V to the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7 for voltage division. After voltage division, the voltage is transmitted to the control terminal of the third transistor Q3 through the voltage divider node B. After the third transistor Q3 turns on, it pulls down the control terminal of the second transistor Q2 to the ground terminal, turning off the second transistor Q2. After the second transistor Q2 turns off, the third terminal of the first transistor Q1, which was connected to the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, becomes connected to the first resistor R1 and the third resistor R3. The load current of the third terminal of the first transistor Q1 quickly enters the low-power output mode.
[0044] When the short circuit at the power output terminal EXT-Power-12V is restored, the first transistor Q1 automatically resumes 12V output because the first resistor R1 and the third resistor R3 pull down the third terminal of the first transistor Q1 to ground.
[0045] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this application, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this application and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
