9.3.11 Current Limiting

A 1-V (typical) cycle-by-cycle current limit threshold is incorporated into the UCC280x family. Note that the 100-ns leading edge blanking pulse is applied to this current limiting circuitry. The blanking overrides the current limit comparator output to prevent the leading edge switch noise from triggering a current limit function. Propagation delay from the current limit comparator to the output is typically 70 ns. This high-speed path minimizes power semiconductor dissipation during an overload by abbreviating the ON time.

For increased efficiency in the current sense circuitry, the circuit shown in Figure 9-16 can be used. Resistors RA and RB bias the actual current sense resistor voltage up, allowing a small current sense amplitude to be used. This circuitry provides current limiting protection with lower power loss current sensing.

The example shown uses a 200-mV full scale signal at the current sense resistor. Resistor RB biases this up by approximately 700 mV to mate with the 0.9-V minimum specification of the current limit comparator of the IC. The value of resistor RA changes with the specific IC used, due to the different reference voltages. The resistor values must be selected for minimal power loss. For example, a 50-µA bias sets RB = 13 kΩ, RA = 75 kΩ (UCCx800, UCC2801, UCC2802, and UCC2804), or RA = 56 kΩ with the UCC2803 and UCC2805 devices.
