    Abstract: An overcurrent protection circuit includes a hiccup controller which is configured to hiccup-drive a switching element such that an on-period and an off-period alternate. The hiccup controller controls at least one of the on- and off-period according to a temperature sense signal. The temperature sense signal can be generated by detecting at least one of temperature of the switching element and a difference in temperature between the switching element and another element. When at least one of temperature of the switching element and the difference in temperature between the switching element and the other element is higher than a predetermined threshold value, the hiccup controller can reduce the on-period ton and increase the off-period.

    Abstract: An example switch device includes a switching element to connect/disconnect a current path from a power supply terminal to a ground terminal via a load, and an overcurrent protection circuit to limit output current flowing in the switching element to be an overcurrent limit value or less. When an output short circuit of the load is detected, the overcurrent protection circuit decreases the overcurrent limit value to be lower as a power supply voltage is higher. The overcurrent protection circuit includes a reference current generation portion that includes: a differential amplifier portion, an upper side current generation portion arranged to generate a predetermined an upper side current, a lower side current generation portion arranged to generate a lower side current, and a difference current generation portion arranged to output a difference current based on the lower side current and the upper side current, as the reference current.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an overcurrent protection circuit configured to, upon detection of an output current that flows through a switch element reaching a first overcurrent limit value, reduce an overcurrent limit value for the output current from the first overcurrent limit value to a second overcurrent limit value smaller than the first overcurrent limit value.

    Abstract: An overcurrent protection circuit includes a current control part configured to control conductance of a transistor so as to limit an output current flowing when the transistor is turned on to a predetermined upper limit or less, and a duty control part configured to forcibly turning on/off the transistor at a predetermined duty ratio when a temperature protection circuit detects a temperature abnormality in a state where the current control part limits the output current.
