PRODUCTION DATA
LM74930-Q1 offers fast response to output short circuit events with the short-circuit protection feature. After the voltage across ISCP and CS– exceeds the deafult threshold of 20-mV typical, HGATE is pulled to OUT within 3-µs protecting the load disconnect FET. FLT asserts low at the same time. Subsequent to this event, the charge/discharge cycles of CTMR starts similar to the behavior post FET OFF event in circuit breaker operation.
Short circuit protection threshold can be increased using an external series resistor (RISCP) from ISCP pin to current sense resistor. The shift in the short circuit protection threshold can be calculated using Equation 6.
An additional deglitch filter consisting of RISCP and CISCP can be added from ISCP pin to CS– pin as shown in Figure 7-7 to avoid any false short circuit trigger in case of fast automotive transients such as Input short interruptions (LV124, E-10), AC superimpose (LV124 E-06, ISO16750-2), ISO7637-2 Pulse 2A.
Short-circuit protection with latch off can also be achieved in the similar way as explained in the circuit breaker section.
