<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an overcurrent protective device for an electronic apparatus, a power supply cut-off control method thereof, and a program, capable of accurately and quickly detecting an overcurrent in the current supplied from a power source to a load and protecting the load effectively from the overcurrent. <P>SOLUTION: A timer circuit 13 outputs an overcurrent detection signal when a timer time lapses under the condition that the current supplied from a power supply 11 to an electronic apparatus internal circuit 20 does not fall below a reference value after exceeding the value. A cut-off switch 14 that receives the overcurrent detection signal cuts off the output of the power supply 11. A timer time variable setting circuit 15 specifies a duration of the timer time that corresponds to the current value at the time when the current exceeds the reference value. The timer circuit 13 sets in variable manner the timer time based on the control signal from the timer time variable setting circuit 15. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
