The present invention proposes an over-power protection apparatus for a
power converter. An oscillator outputs a clock signal. By comparing a
sense signal with a threshold signal, an over-power comparative unit
outputs a protection signal to an accumulating trigger unit. 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 counts. 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 over-power protection can be
accomplished.
