A controller is applied with a protection circuit and a protection method. A controller detects an input signal generated by a current flowing through a detection resistor, thereby turning on or off a switch, for controlling the current. A shielding time generator provides a shielding time. When the switch is turned on and when a current timing without the shielding time, a short-circuit detector compares the input signal with a first reference voltage, thereby asserting a short-circuit detection signal. When the switch is turned off or when the current timing is during the shielding time, the short-circuit detection signal is not asserted. Each time the short-circuit detection signal is asserted, a logic controller turns off the switch, thereby reducing the current.
