Abstract:
A circuit to protect an overvoltage in a universal serial bus (USB) device include an overvoltage protection (OVP) switch connected to a pin of a USB receptacle and a switch controller to turn off the OVP switch when an overvoltage is detected such that power between the pin and the USB device is interrupted. The switch controller supplies a control signal to the OVP switch such that the OVP switch has a first on-resistance when the USB device is operating in a normal mode and no overvoltage is detected, and has a second on-resistance, higher than the first on-resistance, when the USB device is operating in a low-power mode and no overvoltage is detected.
