An overcurrent protection circuit includes an input terminal, an output terminal, a first resistor, a second resistor, a current source and a comparator. The first resistor, the second resistor and the current source are connected in series in that order between the input terminal and ground. A first input pin of the comparator is connected to a first node between the second resistor and the current source. A second input pin of the comparator is connected to the input terminal An output pin of the comparator is connected to the output terminal. When current input through the input terminal is greater than a predetermined value, the overcurrent protection circuit outputs a signal indicative of the current being greater than the predetermined value through the output terminal.
