Abstract
An over-current protection circuit has a current sensing circuit, an over-current comparing circuit, an isolation circuit and a control circuit. The current sensing circuit generates a current sensing signal based on a current flowing through an inductor of a voltage converter. The over-current comparing circuit receives the current sensing signal and generates a first over-current indication signal based on the current sensing signal. The isolation circuit receives the first over-current indication signal and generates a second over-current indication signal based on the first over-current indication signal. The control circuit receives the second over-current indication signal, and generates a control signal to control a switch of the voltage converter. The control circuit turns off the switch when the second over-current indication signal indicates that an over-current condition occurs.
