Abstract:
An overvoltage protection circuit includes an output transistor coupled between a power supply and an output terminal, the output terminal including a terminal for being coupled to a load and a dynamic clamping circuit and a clamp selection transistor coupled in series between the power supply terminal and a control terminal of the output transistor. The clamp selection transistor is coupled between the dynamic clamping circuit and a control terminal of the output transistor. In addition, the clamp selector transistor includes an N-channel type transistor, a control terminal of the N-channel type transistor being coupled to a ground potential.
