Abstract
A circuit includes an overload monitor comparing a current sense signal to a threshold signal to generate a comparison result and adjusting a value of a first count signal in response to the comparison result and a monitoring signal. The monitoring signal indicates a time interval during which the overload monitor adjusts the value of the first count signal. The circuit further includes an overload protection signal generator generating an overload protection signal in response to the first count signal, the overload protection signal indicating whether the power converter is operating in an overload condition.
