ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for protecting switch-mode power supplies connected in parallel (SMPS) from overvoltage by ceasing operation of the load sharing circuit when voltage higher than a predetermined voltage level is applied to the load sharing pin. Under normal operation of the load sharing circuit in the prior art SMPS, all sets of SMPS connected in parallel equally share the loaded voltage. If heavy voltage is continuosly applied to the load sharing pin, however, all sets of SMPS connected to the load sharing pin malfunction, thereby driving SMPS out of order. The present invention is to provide a protection circuit to prevent all sets of SMPS from malfunctioning when heavy voltage is applied to the load sharing pin which exchanges load sharing signals in a plurality of SMPS connected in parallel.
