Abstract

An over-current protection system used in a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a current supply module, a processor, and a battery. The over-current protection system commands the processor to disable its boost state if a first current generated by the current supply module when the processor is in the boost state is greater than a second current affordable by the current supply module.
