Everything You Need to Know About Power Supply Protections

In this tutorial we are going to present an in-depth explanation on how all the main power supply protections really work.

Comparison Between Monitoring Integrated Circuits

Contents

  • 1. Introduction
  • 2. Power Good
  • 3. Under and Over Voltage Protections (UVP and OVP)
  • 4. Over Current Protection (OCP)
  • 5. Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
  • 6. Other Protections
  • 7. Comparison Between Monitoring Integrated Circuits

In the table below we compare the main protections supported by the most popular monitoring integrated circuits. We are separating the circuits in two kinds, first the ones with integrated PWM controller (used by low-cost power supplies based on the half-bridge topology) and then the circuits used on power supplies with more modern topologies.

Unless noted, OVP and UVP circuits monitors the main positive voltages (+12 V, +5 V and +3.3 V) only.

* Also monitors -12 V and -5 V outputs.

** Doesn’t monitor +12 V for this protection.
