Abstract

See full text

A protection circuit for a power converter is provided. The protection circuit includes a sensor circuit, a detection circuit and an initial protection circuit. The sensor circuit senses an output current of the power converter to generate a load signal. The detection circuit detects a voltage signal at a signal terminal of the connection port. The initial protection circuit compares the load signal with an initial-protection threshold. When the voltage signal at the signal terminal switches to a high level from a low level after the protection circuit is enabled, the power converter enters an initial protection mode and the initial protection circuit counts an initial period of a port-identification procedure. When the load signal is larger than the initial-protection threshold during the initial period of the port-identification procedure, the initial protection circuit generates a first protection signal to shut down the power converter.
