Abstract:
The method of a protection circuit includes a reference voltage source and at least one circuit which are connected together via a switch. A memory element is connected to the input of the circuit, downstream of the switch. The switch is temporarily opened by a control signal generated by a monostable circuit when detecting switching of power elements belonging to an electronic device embedding the protection circuit. When the switch is open, the memory element supplies the circuit with the reference voltage previously stored. In this way, switching of the power element that might cause noise on the reference voltage cannot disturb the circuit and thereby cannot cause a faulty operation of the latter.
