1. A protection circuit connected between a power supply for providing a working voltage and a load, the protection circuit comprising:
- an interface capable of connecting and disconnecting with a load;
a detecting module connected to the interface and configured to generate a trigger signal when the interface connects with the load;
a control module connected to the detecting module and configured to generate a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal with a predetermined duty cycle in response to the trigger signal; and
a switch module connected to the power supply, the control module, and the interface;
wherein the switch module periodically turns on and turns off based on the PWM signal generated by the control module.

Abstract
A protection circuit is connected between a power supply for providing a working voltage and a load. The protection circuit comprises an interface, a detecting module connected to the interface, a control module, and a switch module. The control module generates a plus width modulation (PWM) signal with a predetermined duty cycle when the interface interconnects with the load. The switch module periodically turns on and turns off based on the PWM signal with the predetermined duty cycle.

10. A protecting method provided to a protection circuit connected between a power supply and a load, the protecting method comprising:
-
obtaining a current sampled voltage and starting to accumulate the sampling time; comparing the sampling time with a first predetermined time period; determining whether the current sampled voltage is equal to the previous sampled voltage when the sampling time is less than the first predetermined time period; starting to accumulate the detecting time when the current sampled voltage is equal to the previous sampled voltage; comparing the detecting time with a second predetermined time period; and controlling the switch module to be turned-off continuously when detecting time is greater than the second predetermined time period. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
