Abstract
An electronic protection system includes an electronic protection IC, mains power lines including a line rail and a neutral rail, a power switch, and a current sense device. A load is coupled with the mains power lines via the power switch and the current sense device. The electronic protection circuit turns off the power switch within eighty (80) milliseconds from a zero crossing in power delivered by the mains power lines when a load current is too high. A dummy DAC supplies a dummy current to prevent instability resulting from positive feedback during a change between a first state and a second state. The system may include an overcurrent detection circuit with a sense input, a comparator, a latch, and a pulse generator, configured to output a train of pulses with a low duty cycle when a current amplitude exceeds a reference value.
