9.3.4 Overload and Short Circuit Protection

At all times load current is monitored by sensing voltage across an internal sense resistor. During overload events, current is limited to the current limit (I(LIM)) programmed by R(ILIM) resistor as shown in Equation 4.

Equation 4. GUID-8419C981-9359-4E81-8D09-F40D07A36587-low.gif

where

  • I(LIM) is overload current limit in Ampere
  • R(ILIM) is the current limit resistor in kΩ

The device incorporates two distinct levels: a current limit (I(LIM)) and a fast-trip threshold (I(FASTRIP)). Fast trip and current limit operation are shown in Figure 9-3.

Bias current on ILIM pin directly controls current-limiting behavior of the device, and PCB routing of this node must be kept away from any noisy (switching) signals.
