PRODUCTION DATA
LM74930-Q1 provides programmable overcurrent threshold setting by means of resistor (RLIM) connected from ILIM pin to GND.
where
The CTMR programs the circuit breaker and auto-retry time. After the voltage across CS+ and CS– exceeds the set point, the CTMR starts charging with 85-µA pull up current. After the CTMR charges to VTMR_FLT, FLT asserts low providing warning on impending FET turn OFF. After CTMR charges to VTMR_OC, HGATE is pulled to OUT turning off the load disconnect FET. After this event, the auto-retry behavior starts. The CTMR capacitor starts discharging with 2.7-µA pull down current. After the voltage reaches VTMR_Low level, the capacitor starts charging with 2.7-µA pull up. After 32 charging/discharging cycles of CTMR, the FET turns ON and FLT de-asserts after de-assertion delay.
where
The auto-retry time can be computed as
If the overcurrent pulse duration is below TOC then the FET remains ON and CTMR gets discharged using internal pull down switch.
When not used, ILIM is connected to ground while TMR can be left floating.
If the overcurrent pulse duration is below TOC then the FET remains ON and CTMR gets discharged using internal pull down switch.
