Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides an over-voltage and over-current protection circuit ( 30 ), including an over-voltage detection unit ( 31 ) to generate an over-voltage detection voltage, an over-current detection unit ( 32 ) to generate an over-current detection voltage, a LED driving unit ( 33 ) being connected with the over-voltage detection unit and the over-current detection unit to converter a reference voltage into an over-voltage reference voltage and an over-current reference voltage being proportional to the reference voltage, a reference voltage adjusting unit ( 34 ) and a control unit ( 35 ). The control unit ( 35 ) outputs a boost control signal with a high level when it judges that change range of the working voltage of the LED module ( 20 ) exceeds a predetermined value according to a LED characteristic data curve. The present invention provides an electronic device ( 1 ), the over-voltage or over-current protection threshold could be increased along with increasing the working time of the electronic device ( 1 ).
