PURPOSE: An apparatus and method for protecting wireless-coupled power devices against an overvoltage, an overcurrent, and an excessive temperature are provided to protect a power device against an excessive temperature by using a thermistor whose resistance is changed according to a temperature. CONSTITUTION: A first resistive divider(1110) divides an input voltage and outputs a first divided voltage. A rectifier(1120) rectifies the first divided voltage and outputs the rectified voltage. A second resistive divider(1130) divides the rectified voltage and outputs the second divided voltage. A comparator(1150) receives the second divided voltage through a positive terminal and receives DC through a negative terminal. If a difference between the voltage from the positive terminal and the voltage from the negative terminal is an on-level or more, the comparator converts the control signal into a first control signal.. If the difference between the voltage from the positive terminal and the voltage from the negative terminal is an off-level or less, the comparator converts the control signal into a second control signal.
