The granted patent (Publication Number: US12015371B2) discloses an over-current protection device for a power generator. The device includes a detection and control module that receives signals from pins and determines if they meet pre-determined conditions, outputting control signals accordingly. An auto-trim and memory module stores adjustment data based on these signals. The device can detect voltage levels, waveforms, frequencies, and duty cycles to ensure the signals conform to set conditions. Additionally, the device can be directly connected to the power generator and a load signal generator, with the signals corresponding to the load signal generated.

Furthermore, the patent describes an over-current protection method for a power generator. This method involves receiving signals from pins, detecting various parameters like voltage levels, waveforms, frequencies, and current sizes to determine if they meet pre-determined conditions. The method also includes executing auto-trim measurements and storing adjustment data based on the control signals received. The control signals can indicate different working modes related to the power generator, such as on settings, off settings, or over-current protection point settings. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system and method for protecting power generators from over-current situations by monitoring and controlling various signal parameters.
