Abstract
Disclosed embodiments may include a power converter having a power conversion circuit and a protection circuit. The power conversion circuit is electrically coupled between a first terminal and a second terminal, to convert a first voltage from the first terminal to a second voltage outputted at the second terminal. The protection circuit is electrically coupled between an input terminal of the power converter and the first terminal. The protection circuit includes a first protection device and a clamping circuit. The first protection device withstands an input voltage of the power converter to continue an operation of the power conversion circuit when the input voltage exceeds a voltage threshold value. The clamping circuit is electrically coupled to a control terminal of the first protection device to clamp a control voltage of the first protection device.
