Abstract
Overcurrent protection devices and methods for electronic modules. In some embodiments, an overcurrent protection system can be implemented for an electronic circuit. The system can include a detection unit configured to detect an overcurrent condition associated with the electronic circuit and generate an overcurrent signal indicative of the overcurrent condition. The system can further include a consumption system in communication with the detection unit. The consumption system can be configured to consume and thereby reduce a current in a path associated with the electronic circuit upon receipt of the overcurrent signal. The consumption system can be further configured to not consume the current when the overcurrent signal ceases.
