Abstract
An over-current protection circuit including, a current supply switch with a first terminal coupled to a supply current input and with a second terminal coupled to a supply current output. The current supply switch is switchable at least between an on-state, in which the current supply switch provides a conductive connection between the first terminal and the second terminal, and an off-state, in which the current supply switch interrupts the conductive connection between the first terminal and the second terminal. The over-current protection circuit receives a supply current via the supply current input and provides the supply current via the supply current output if the switch is in the on-state. The current supply switch includes a High Electron Mobility Transistor.
