ADVANCE INFORMATION
This design example considers a 54V system operating voltage with a tolerance of ±10%. The maximum steady-state load current is 80A. If the load current exceeds 85A, the eFuse circuit must allow transient overload currents up to a 3ms interval. For persistent overloads lasting longer than that, the eFuse circuit must break the circuit and then latch-off. The eFuse circuit must charge a bulk capacitance of 1mF. Figure 8-3 shows the application schematic for this design example.
