Abstract
An apparatus and a method for recognizing an electric over-stress of a hybrid supply modulator including a linear regulator and an Switching Mode Power Supplier (SMPS), and protecting a network from the electric over-stress are provided. The hybrid supply modulator includes at least one sensing unit and at least one actuator unit. The at least one sensing unit senses at least one of a current and a voltage at one or more points defined in advance within a supply modulator network. The at least one actuator unit performs a protection action corresponding to at least one electric over-stress situation represented by the sensing result.
