==ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH OVERCURRENT PROTECTION AND METHOD FOR OVERCURRENT PROTECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17046133 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH OVERCURRENT PROTECTION AND METHOD FOR OVERCURRENT PROTECTION

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an electronic device with an overcurrent protection function. It includes a power converter that converts input voltage or current to supply output current, a control unit to adjust the output current, and an overcurrent protection unit to detect and transmit the output current information to the control unit.

* The overcurrent protection unit includes an overcurrent extraction module that calculates the difference between the output current and a designated first reference current.
* A calculation module integrates the difference over time to obtain an accumulative value.
* A first comparison module compares the accumulative value with a critical value and transmits a detection result to the control unit if the accumulative value exceeds the critical value.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Power supply systems: This overcurrent protection function can be used in various power supply systems to prevent damage caused by excessive current.
* Electronic devices: The electronic device with this overcurrent protection function can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and home appliances.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Overcurrent protection: The device provides a mechanism to detect and protect against overcurrent situations, preventing damage to the device or connected components.
* Accurate detection: The integration of the difference between output current and reference current over time allows for more accurate detection of overcurrent situations.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enhanced safety: The overcurrent protection function ensures the device and connected components are protected from potential damage caused by excessive current.
* Improved reliability: Accurate detection of overcurrent situations allows for timely intervention and prevention of potential failures or malfunctions.
* Efficient power management: The control unit can adjust the output current based on the detection results, optimizing power usage and improving overall efficiency.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic device having an overcurrent protection function is provided. The electronic device includes at least one power converter, the at least one power converter including a power conversion unit to convert input voltage or input current to supply output current, a control unit to adjust the output current, and an overcurrent protection unit to detect the output current and transmit a detection result to the control unit, and wherein the overcurrent protection unit includes an overcurrent extraction module to output a difference between the output current exceeding designated first reference current and the first reference current; a calculation module to calculate an accumulative value obtained by integrating the difference with respect to time, and a first comparison module to compare the accumulative value with a designated critical value and to transmit a first detection result in which the accumulative value exceeds the critical value to the control unit.
