ABSTRACT:
An overvoltage protection control circuit includes a voltage conversion circuit, a voltage comparison circuit, and a switching circuit. The voltage conversion circuit generates a first voltage and a second voltage based on a power supply voltage. The voltage comparison circuit generates a control signal based on a comparison between the first voltage and the second voltage. The switching circuit determines whether to apply the power supply voltage to a chip in response to the control signal. The overvoltage protection control circuit is formed inside the chip.
