Power supply circuit and protocol control circuit thereof
A power supply circuit includes a power converter circuit, a path switch and a protocol control circuit. The protocol control circuit controls the power converter circuit and the path switch. The protocol control circuit includes: a shared pin and a signal determination circuit. The shared pin is coupled to the bus node via the temperature sensitive device and transmits different signals having different functions under at least two different modes. The signal determination circuit senses a voltage at the bus node via the shared pin under a power start-up mode, to determine whether to control the path switch to conduct the power path, thereby determining whether to enter a power supply mode. The signal determination circuit receives a temperature signal generated by the temperature sensitive device via the shared pin under the power supply mode, to determine an ambient temperature where the temperature sensitive is located.
