A multi-level over-current protection circuit includes: a signal amplification circuit configured to receive a set of detection signals and output a first signal; a comparison circuit to compare the first signal with a first reference signal and a second reference signal respectively; and a time delay counting circuit. The time delay counting circuit adjusts a first count value when the first signal is higher than or equal to the first reference signal and smaller than the second reference signal, and the time delay counting circuit activates a protection mode when the first count value reaches a first protection time delay. The time delay counting circuit adjusts a second count value when the first signal is higher or equal to the second reference signal, and activates the protection mode when the second count value reaches a second protection time delay.

Multi-level over-current protection circuit

An electronic apparatus, a voltage detector, and a voltage detection method thereof are provided. The voltage detector includes a rectifying and filtering circuit, a comparison circuit, and a detection signal generator. The rectifying and filtering circuit receives an alternating current input voltage and performs a rectifying and filtering operation on the alternating current input voltage to generate a processed voltage. The comparison circuit compares the processed voltage with a reference voltage to generate a comparison signal. The detection signal generator has a first side and a second side. The first side receives the comparison signal and generates an induction signal according to the comparison signal. The second side receives the indication signal to generate a detection signal. The first side and the second side are isolated.

Electronic apparatus, voltage detector and voltage detection method thereof

The instant disclosure provides a Power Factor Correction (PFC) boost converter including a PFC converter unit and a control unit and a frequency switching modulation method thereof. The control unit outputs a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the PFC converter unit for adjusting an electronic power output to a voltage converter. As the output load of the PFC converter unit increases, the control unit increases the frequency of the PWM signal. Conversely, as the output load of the PFC converter unit decreases, the control unit reduces the frequency of the PWM signal. Consequently, the switching loss of the PFC converter unit is reduced.
