Basic operation
When the output current (M (+) or M (−), Isink or Isource) is up to the I
controlled by the input signals. When it exceeds the detection current, the output assumes a switching
waveform as shown in Figure 1.
Detailed explanation
The output current is detected by monitoring the sense resistance. One detection circuit connects to one of
the circuits (CH1 or CH2) and leads to the short-circuit detection circuit. When a current exceeding the I
detection current flows through one of the four output transistors, the short-circuit detection circuit is
activated. This circuit contains a timer. When an overcurrent condition continues for 10 µs (typically), the
detection circuit places the output in high-impedance mode and, 290 µs (typically) later, returns the IC to
ON mode. The switching-waveform output is repeated until the overcurrent condition is no longer present.
Caution for application
The overcurrent detection is intended to protect the IC temporarily from overcurrent conditions due to
short circuits. If an overcurrent condition continues after the output transistors move to switching mode,
damage can occur due to overstress. To prevent this, a system must be configured so that the IC is switched
into standby mode immediately after an overcurrent condition is detected by the DIAG output. In this case,
the time that it takes to detect an overcurrent fault caused by short circuit to output (or to supply or
ground) and to place the IC to the standby mode should be within one second.
