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 10):
The short-circuit protection method of  claim 9 , wherein after the control circuit controls the output circuit to be turned off further comprises:\n controlling the output circuit to operate in the second voltage threshold mode through the recovery circuit, the timing circuit starts a second timekeeping; doing not receive the detection signal before the time of the second timekeeping reaches the second preset time, the control circuit controls the threshold regulating circuit to output the second threshold voltage for controlling the output circuit to operate in the second voltage threshold mode; receiving the detection signal through the control circuit again before the time of the second timekeeping reaches the second preset time, to control the output circuit to switch between the second voltage threshold mode and off, and continue timekeeping; when the time of the second timekeeping reaches the second preset time, the control circuit controls the threshold regulating circuit to output the first threshold voltage to control the output circuit to operate in the first voltage threshold mode.
