The protection circuit comprises a clamping circuit with a switching element for reducing a supply voltage in case of an over voltage condition, and a holding circuit for providing a holding current for the clamping circuit. The clamping circuit comprises a threshold circuit, which provides a switching voltage for a switching element when the supply voltage reaches an upper voltage limit. The switching element is connected to a charge capacitor, which provides the switching-on voltage for the switching transistor, and by reducing this supply voltage, the switching of the switching transistor is disabled. The holding circuit comprises in particular a capacitor, which is coupled via a resistor to the clamping circuit for providing an additional current in case of an over voltage condition.
