[0030] The Zener diode D and the voltage divider resistor R12 are used for voltage detection. The second P-MOS transistor Q12 is used to control the first P-MOS transistor Q11 based on the voltage detection result. The first P-MOS transistor Q11 is used for overvoltage protection of the power module VIN.
[0031] Specifically, the power module VIN is connected in sequence to the voltage divider resistor R12 and the negative terminal of the Zener diode D1 between the first P_MOS transistor Q11 and the positive terminal of the Zener diode D1, and the contact point between the negative terminal of the Zener diode D1 and the voltage divider resistor R12 is connected to the gate of the second P_MOS transistor Q12.
