An example embodiment of DC voltage limiting circuit is indicated in fig. 2 generally with Reference numeral 100.DC voltage limiting circuit 100 inputs 104 place's receiver voltage input signals at voltage, and this voltage input signal is such as the rectified AC voltage from the rectification circuit be included in the stealing circuit of thermostat (not shown in Fig. 2).DC voltage limiting circuit 100 uses two capacitor C3 and C4 to provide output voltage Vcap1, such as, for powering for thermostat load 108.Capacitor C3 and capacitor C4 is connected to output voltage Vcap1 with parallel way and ground is held between GND.In this example embodiment, provide two capacitor C3 and C4 although it should be noted that, also can provide single capacitor in other embodiments or more than two capacitors.
Voltage Vcap1 changes with load 108 and the quantity of electric charge on capacitor C3 and capacitor C4.In the present embodiment, voltage Vcap1 is restricted to 30VDC by DC voltage limiting circuit 100, and load 108 is reduction voltage circuit (not shown in Fig. 2).But it should be noted that may be used for voltage being restricted to other magnitude of voltage and/or be used for being provided in the voltage used in the circuit of other or addition type exports according to the execution mode of the various DC voltage limiting circuits of many aspects of the present utility model.
In this example embodiment, during thermostat operation, voltage input 104 is usually between 24V and 30V.Such as, but when the wiring error on the 24V transformer of atmosphere control system is connected to the thermostat comprising DC voltage limiting circuit 100 by user, voltage input 104 can be high singularly, between 48VAC and 60VAC.In this example embodiment, DC voltage limiting circuit 100 is configured to, input voltage reach may cause the level of overheated and/or excessive voltage condition in other side time, protection stealing circuit and thermostat.
Referring again to Fig. 2, small resistor R1 is set between voltage input 104 and the remainder of DC voltage limiting circuit 100.The collector electrode 116 of resistor R1 and resistor R2, the first Zener diode CR1, resistor R3 and NPN transistor Q2 is connected to node 112 place.The emitter 120 of transistor Q2 is connected with the emitter 124 of NPN transistor Q3.Emitter 120 and emitter 124 all connect with the drain electrode 128 of Metal-Oxide Semiconductor field-effect transistor (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, MOSFET) M1.The electric current leaving the source electrode 132 of MOSFET M1 is in output voltage Vcap1.

When the signal that voltage inputs 204 places has the voltage lower than the Zener voltage of Zener diode CR4, electric current flows through transistor Q4 and transistor Q5, to provide voltage Vcap2 at capacitor C5, capacitor C6 and load 208 place.When Zener voltage (in this example embodiment be 9.1V) of the signal voltage that voltage inputs 204 places more than CR4, electric current starts the emitter 224 from transistor Q4, through collector electrode 268 and the emitter 272 of transistor Q6, flow to the base stage 264 of transistor Q6.When substantially slowing down or stopping the current flowing through transistor Q5, transistor Q4 continues supply electric current.
When voltage Vcap2 reached the Zener voltage according to Zener diode CR5 of DC voltage limiting circuit 200 and the upper limit (such as the 30V) that arrange time, electric current flows through the base stage 256 of Zener diode CR5 and transistor Q7.Then electric current flows through the collector electrode 244 arrival point end GND of transistor Q7.
When voltage input 204 is extremely high, circuit 200 converts high voltage input to charge to capacitor C5 and capacitor C6 electric current, the output voltage of capacitor is restricted to desired value.In this manner, can prevent high voltage input from directly supplying subsequent conditioning circuit, such as, capacitor C1 in Fig. 1 and/or reduction voltage circuit 34, thus such as the installation scenarios of mistake provides protection.
