Abstract
An electronic circuit breaker comprising: an input connected to an electric DC power supply; an output connected to a load; the input connected to the output via a switch, said switch is controlled via a switch control line between an 'ON'-state and an “OFF”-state; a switch driver connected to the switch control line, said switch driver configured to control the switch; and a switch protection, a voltage detection branch configured to output a first electric potential indicative of the electrical potential difference between the input and the output; a comparator circuit configured to compare the first electrical potential with a first threshold voltage, said first threshold voltage is indicative of an over-current level flowing through the switch; and a gate controller connected to the switch disable line and configured to disable the switch by connecting the switch control line to a potential which causes the switch to enter the “OFF”-state.
