Abstract

A protective circuit unit includes an analog switch connected to a DC power line which is connected to the power source circuit of said electronic device and a main constant voltage diode connected in parallel to the DC power line, wherein an input applied to a control terminal of the analog switch is controlled by current flowing in the constant voltage diode so as to turn off the analog switch when a supply voltage is higher than a predetermined value.
