switch cap circuit. See Figure 25. Exceeding the maximum
sense voltage results in no current limit. Steps 0 to 10 result

to the switching cycle. Current level 1 in Figure 26
represents a condition that will not cause a fault. Current
level 2 represents a condition that will cause a fault. The
sense circuit is allowed to operate below the 3/4 point of a
given switching cycle. A given switching cycle’s 3/4 T
time is defined by the prior cycle’s T
10 ns steps. A fault occurs if the sensed MOSFET voltage
exceeds the DAC reference within the 3/4 time window of
the switching cycle.
