Normal Operation (Closed Connection) State

The TIDA-020069 is in normal operation (closed connection) state when all load resistors are connected in series. During this state, the onboard LED marked Normal Operation is turned on, as shown in Figure 3-7 test results image. This state represents a closed and secure connection of all high-voltage connectors in an HVIL system. In a HEV/EV, this is considered normal operation while the vehicle is powered on. In this state, the high-voltage battery is enabled, as the TIDA-020069 is indicating a secure connection of all high-voltage connectors.

Figure 2-15 illustrates the expected behavior of HVIL-Send and HVIL-Return during normal operation. The high-voltage connectors are modeled as resistors connected in series with the TIDA-020069. In this state, current flows though the interlock loop, though each high-voltage connector, and returns to the TIDA-020069.

                    Connection) State Figure 2-15 Normal Operation (Closed Connection) State

In normal operation, HVIL-Send is expected to be greater than the Upper Threshold voltage level and HVIL-Return is expected to be between the Lower Threshold and Upper Threshold voltage levels. The differential voltage between HVIL-Send and HVIL-Return is:

Equation 9. V D I F = V H V I L - S E N D - V H V I L - R E T U R N = I L O A D × R L O A D

This differential voltage, VDIF, along with an accurate measurement from the current-sense amplifier, VCS-OUTPUT are indicators that the TIDA-020069 is in normal operation.

The TIDA-020069 is designed to allow for flexibility to accommodate various OEM requirements for HVIL systems. Many variables can be adjusted to meet the requirements for each system, including: loop current (ILOAD), loop resistance (RLOAD), and supply voltage. Despite the changes in these variables, the Lower Threshold voltage level needs to be less than HVIL-Return, while the Upper Threshold voltage level needs to be less than HVIL-Return and greater than Lower Threshold during a closed connection for the TIDA-020069 to correctly interpret a normal operation state. The resistor divider ratios selected in Section 2.3.1.4 must be selected to meet these requirements.
