The present invention proposes an over-voltage protection apparatus for a
power converter. The over-voltage protection apparatus has an oscillator
outputting a clock signal. Simultaneously, by comparing a sense signal
with a threshold signal, an over-voltage comparative unit outputs a
protection signal to an accumulating trigger unit. Next, the accumulating
trigger unit is accumulating and counting the protection signal in
response to the clock signal. The accumulating trigger unit further
outputs an off signal to a latch unit as a period of the protection
signal reaches a predetermined clock count. In response to the off
signal, the latch unit outputs a latch signal to a driving output unit
for disabling a switching signal to a power switch. Therefore, the power
switch is turned off, and the object of the over-voltage protection can
be accomplished.
