8.3.6 Overcurrent Detection

In addition to a fast precision analog signal response, the TMCS1133 also offers a fast digital overcurrent response. The Overcurrent Detection (OCD) circuit provides a comparator output that can be used to trigger a warning or system shutdown to prevent damage from excessive current flow caused by short circuits, motor stalls, or other system conditions. This fast digital response can be configured on both bidirectional and unidirectional devices to trip anywhere between half and over twice the analog measurement range. When set up to trigger outside the analog measurement range, this fast digital overcurrent output OC along with the precision analog output VOUT allows the user to optimize control-loop dynamic range.

The desired overcurrent threshold IOC is set by applying an external voltage VOC to the VOC pin according to Equation 21.

Equation 21. V O C = S × I O C 2.5

where

  • S is the device sensitivity in mV/A.
  • IOC is the desired overcurrent threshold.
  • VOC is the voltage applied that sets the overcurrent threshold.

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) can be used to set the desired overcurrent threshold IOC, or a simple external resistor divider circuit can be used as shown in Figure 8-5. When using a resistor divider, R2 must be less than 10kΩ to mitigate the impact of the VOC input impedance on overcurrent threshold accuracy.

Higher overcurrent threshold accuracy can be achieved on the bidirectional TMCS1133Axx and TMCS1133Bxx devices by using the zero current output reference voltage VREF as shown in Figure 8-6.

Figure 8-6 User Configurable Overcurrent Threshold Using Zero Current Output Reference Voltage

For example, to set the desired overcurrent threshold to IOC = ±50A on the bidirectional TMCS1133A3A or TMCS1133B3A devices, or to IOC = 50A on the unidirectional TMCS1133C3A device, size the resistors R1 and R2 to apply a voltage VOC = 1.5V to the VOC pin according to Equation 21.

with

  • TMCS1133A3A, TMCS1133B3A and TMCS1133C3A device sensitivity, S = 75mV/A.
  • Desired overcurrent threshold, IOC = 50A.
  • Applied overcurrent threshold voltage VOC = 1.5V.

Figure 8-7 shows the overcurrent digital output OC response as active-low. When the input current exceeds ±IOC on a bidirectional device, the fast OC pin is pulled low. The input current must return to within ±IOC by more than a hysteresis current IHys before the OC pin resets back to the normal high-state.
