4. Current limiter circuits
4-1. Current limiter 1
The current is limited by moving the sink side transistor from saturated to undaturated, so ASO can be a problem.
I =
VRf1
Rf
(A)
Therefore, design so that as much as possible current limiter 1 is not triggered.
Also, take particular care not to exceed the maximum output current (2.5A) when current limiter 1 is triggered.
4-2. Current limiter 2
This circuit limits the current by lowering the PWM output duty, thus lowering the VM voltage.
When current limiter 2 is triggered, the output current is no greater than 2A.
I =
VRf2
Rf
(A)
When not controlling the PWM, add a current limiter to the VM power supply. (A current setting no greater than
60% to 70% of the current value of current limiter 1 and a short delay time are recommended.)
5. Protection circuits
5-1. Overvoltage protection circuit
If the voltage at the VCC pin rises above the regulated votlage (38V), PWM output is inhibited and the sink side
output driver is switched off.
5-2. Low-votlage protection circuit
If the voltage at the VCC pin falls below the regulated voltage, just as in 5-1, PWM output is inhibited and the sink
side output driver is switched off.
5-3. Thermal shutdown circuit
If the junction temperature rises above the regulated temperature, just as in 5-1, PMW output is inhibited and the
sink output driver is switched off.
6. Minimum voltage at VM power
Use a voltage greater than the VH voltage for the VM power supply votlage.
