1. An over current protection circuit comprising:

  • a switching element comprises a first terminal coupled to an electronic device, a second terminal grounded via a voltage dividing resistor, and a control terminal used to control connection and disconnection between the first terminal and the second terminal;

    a voltage detecting circuit coupled to the second terminal of the switching element, the voltage detecting circuit to generate a discharging voltage when the switching element turns off;

    a pulse generation circuit connected with the voltage detecting circuit, pulse generation circuit to generate a high level signal and a low level signal according to the discharging voltage;

    a RC discharging circuit connected with the pulse generation circuit, and charged by the high level signal, the RC discharging circuit to discharge when the pulse generation circuit generates the low level signal; and

    a comparison circuit connected between the RC discharging circuit and the control terminal of the switching element, wherein the comparison circuit generates a low level signal to turn on the switching element when the discharging voltage of the RC discharging circuit is lower than a second reference voltage.
