Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a short-circuit protection apparatus and method. The short-circuit protection apparatus includes a current detection circuit, a control circuit, a threshold regulating circuit, and a timing circuit. The current detection circuit outputs a detection signal when a detected current is greater than a preset current. The control circuit outputs first and second control signals. The threshold regulating circuit outputs first and second threshold voltages, the first threshold voltage controls the output circuit to operate in first voltage threshold mode and start a first timekeeping by the timing circuit. The first timekeeping is restarted when the detection signal is received before the time of the first timekeeping reaches the first preset value. The output circuit operates in second voltage threshold mode when the time of the first timekeeping reaches the first preset value.

Claim (Index 8):
A short-circuit protection method comprising:\n detecting an output current of the output circuit through a current detection circuit; determining whether the output current is greater than a preset current; outputting detection signal when the output current is greater than the preset current; receiving the detection signal through the control circuit and outputting a first control signal and a second control signal according the detection signal; receiving the first control signal through the threshold regulating circuit and outputting the first threshold voltage for controlling the output circuit to operate in the first voltage threshold mode, the timing circuit starts a first timekeeping; determining whether receiving the detection signal through the control circuit in the time of the first timekeeping; receiving the detection signal through the control circuit before the time of the first timekeeping reaches the first preset value, the timing circuit restarts the first timekeeping; the time of the first timekeeping of the timing circuit reaches the first preset value, the control circuit outputs the second control signal for make the threshold regulating circuit output the second threshold voltage which is less than the first threshold voltage, to control the output circuit to operate in the second voltage threshold mode.
