Abstract
A power supply device according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a switch including a first terminal and a second terminal receiving a control signal, the switch operating to be turned on or off by comparing the magnitude between a threshold voltage and a voltage between the first terminal and the second terminal; and a protection element connected to the first terminal to change the magnitude of a source voltage of the first terminal, wherein the magnitude of the source voltage of the first terminal may be adjusted to be higher than when the protection element is not present.
Claims6
A power supply device, comprising:
- a switch including a first terminal and a second terminal receiving an input of a control signal, the switch operating to be turned on or off by comparing magnitudes of a voltage between the first terminal and the second terminal with a threshold voltage;
- a protection device connected to the first terminal to change a magnitude of a source voltage of the first terminal,
- wherein the magnitude of the source voltage of the first terminal is adjusted to be increased in comparison with a case that the protection device is replaced with a short circuit;
- a switching converter for generating an output power by using an input power of an input power supplier including the switch and the protection device;
- a driving controller for generating an operation control signal of the switching converter;
- and
- a power generator for supplying power to at least one of the switching converter or the driving controller,
- wherein the protection device is constructed to be connected to a ground of the switching converter with the first terminal,
- wherein the protection device is constructed to introduce the source voltage to the first terminal based on the control signal being introduced and the switch being turned on,
- wherein the protection device includes a plurality of diodes having the threshold voltage of a predetermined magnitude, and
- wherein the protection device is constructed by connecting a first diode group and a second diode group in parallel, and wherein the first diode group includes at least one diode connected in a first direction in serial and the second diode group includes at least one diode connected in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction in serial.
