7.2.1 Overcurrent Detection

DC link overcurrent detection is a common requirement in DC/DC converter and motor-control applications and, as shown in Figure 7-1, can be implemented with an AMC21C12 isolated window comparator.

GUID-20230731-SS0I-D9HT-51HN-S47M27FN62QL-low.svg Figure 7-1 Using the AMC21C12 for Overcurrent Detection

The load current flowing through an external shunt resistor RSHUNT produces a voltage drop that is compared against the overcurrent detection threshold, set by the external resistor R1. The AMC21C12 signals the overcurrent event by pulling down the open-drain output OUT whenever the voltage drop across the shunt resistor exceeds the threshold value (VREF) in either positive or negative direction.

The integrated low-dropout (LDO) regulator on the high-side allows direct connection of the VDD1 input to a commonly used gate-driver supply. The fast response time and high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of the AMC21C12 provide reliable and accurate operation in high-noise environments.
