Abstract
A controller, which is normally used for controlling different modes is used for circuit protection. The suipply voltage and control signals from the switched mode power supply to the controller are modified when a short circuit occurs. In response thereto, the controller switches 'off' a mode-control signal and the switched mode power supply operates in standby mode.
