Abstract
An overshoot suppression circuit comprises a switch for coupling to an output of a voltage regulation module and a voltage detector for detecting an output voltage at the output. When the load to the voltage regulation module changes from heavy to light to result in the output voltage higher than a threshold, the voltage detector turns on the switch to release energy from the output, and thereby the output voltage is suppressed to produce overshoot to damage the load coupled to the output.
