Abstract:
A method of over-temperature protection for a power switch, can include: (i) generating a sensing signal by sensing a temperature of the power switch; (ii) determining a temperature threshold signal based on a conduction voltage between first and second terminals of the power switch, where a value of the temperature threshold signal is reduced as the conduction voltage increases; and (iii) turning off the power switch when the sensing signal is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold signal.
