Abstract
Circuits and devices related to overcurrent protection. In some embodiments, a voltage converter can include a voltage converting circuit configured to receive an input voltage and generate an output voltage. The voltage converter can further include an overcurrent protection circuit coupled to the voltage converting circuit and having a detection unit configured to detect an overcurrent condition associated with the voltage converting circuit and generate an overcurrent signal indicative of the overcurrent condition. The overcurrent protection circuit can further include a consumption unit in communication with the detection unit and configured to selectively consume and thereby reduce a current in a path associated with the voltage converting circuit upon receipt of the overcurrent signal.
