More Information
Summary:An electronic fuse apparatus is connected between a power side and a system side. The electronic fuse apparatus mainly includes an electronic fuse, a short-circuit protection switch, a current-sensing module, and a digital control module. The current-sensing module detects an operating current which flows from the power side to the system side. The digital control module generates a control signal to control the electronic fuse. When the current-sensing module detects that the operating current is over-current, the digital control module generates the high-level control signal to turn off the electronic fuse, thus providing an over-current protection. When a short-circuit fault occurs at the system side, the short-circuit protection switch is turned on to turn off the electronic fuse, thus providing a short-circuit protection.
