Undervoltage protection circuit, undervoltage protection method and switching power supply

摘要

In one embodiment, an undervoltage protection circuit for a switching power supply can include: (i) an undervoltage detection circuit that determines whether an input voltage of the switching power supply is in an undervoltage state; (ii) a selection circuit configured to select a first or a second control signal to be provided as a main control signal to a control circuit; (iii) the control circuit being configured, in response to the main control signal being the first control signal, to control a switching operation of a power transistor in the switching power supply such that an output voltage of the switching power supply is maintained as substantially stable; and (iv) the control circuit being configured, in response to the main control signal being the second control signal, to control the switching operation of the power transistor to reduce an input power of the switching power supply.
