The drain of MOSFET M1 is connected to the negative input voltage -VIN, and the source of MOSFET M1 is connected to the other end of resistor R22, the positive terminal of diode D1, and the other end of capacitor C6.
[0046] When the input voltage is positive, the gate of MOSFET M1 receives a high level, causing MOSFET M1 to conduct. The negative terminal of the input voltage -VIN passes through MOSFET M1 and resistor R23, resulting in a voltage at the negative terminal of the output voltage -V0, thus forming a circuit.
[0047] When the input voltage is reversed, the gate of MOSFET M1 is at a low level, MOSFET M1 does not conduct, and no loop is formed at the output terminal, thus avoiding the circuit being burned out by reverse connection.

The emitter output voltage VCC of the transistor Q6 serves as the operating voltage of the amplifiers IC5-A and IC5-B.
