SBOSA24A July 2023 – December 2023 TMCS1123
PRODUCTION DATA
Built-in self-diagnostic features are incorporated in the TMCS1123 to warn when operating conditions might invalidate current sensor measurements. Two critical conditions being monitored are sensor temperature and sensitivity.
As discussed in the Safe Operating Area section, high levels of input current can generate excessive heat inside the TMCS1123. High input currents, coupled with elevated ambient temperatures and printed circuit board thermal design can cause the TMCS1123 to overheat and be permanently damaged by exceeding maximum allowed junction temperatures. A thermal alert occurs when the internal temperature approaches the maximum allowed junction temperature.
In addition to temperature, sensor sensitivity and offset are constantly being monitored inside the TMCS1123. A sensor alert occurs in the unlikely event Hall sensor sensitivity or offset is out of range compared with factory set limits.
