Abstract

An analog-to-digital converter protection circuit, a method for controlling an analog-to-digital converter protection circuit, and a controller are disclosed. The analog-to-digital converter protection circuit includes: an analog switch, an analog-to-digital converter, a controller, and a series circuit including at least two resistors connected in series. The controller is configured to: when the digital voltage is greater than or equal to a preset voltage threshold, output a control signal to the analog switch, to trigger the analog switch to control to a second sampling end from a first sampling end to serve as the conduction sampling end to conduct to the output end of the analog switch, where an analog voltage sampled by the second sampling end is less than an analog voltage sampled by the first sampling end; and when the digital voltage is less than the preset voltage threshold, output the digital voltage.
