Abstract
A temperature protection circuit includes a detection circuit, a comparison circuit, a switching circuit, and a control circuit. When the temperature of an electronic device is below a preset temperature, a detecting voltage signal exceeds a reference temperature signal, and the comparison circuit outputs a control signal to open the switching circuit. The control circuit directs a power circuit to provide voltage to an operating circuit. When a temperature of the electronic device exceeds the preset temperature, the detecting voltage signal is below the reference temperature signal, and the comparison circuit outputs a control signal to close the switching circuit. The control circuit directs the power circuit to stop supplying voltages to the operating circuit.
