APPLICATIONS
Electronic Circuit Breaker
The LT1640 features an electronic circuit breaker function
that protects against short circuits or excessive supply
currents. By placing a sense resistor between the V
SENSE pin, the circuit breaker will be tripped whenever the
voltage across the sense resistor is greater than 50mV for
more than 3 s as shown in Figure 7.
Note that the circuit breaker threshold should be set
sufficiently high to account for the sum of the load current
and the inrush current. If the load current can be controlled
by the PWRGD/PWRGD pin (as in Figure 6a), the threshold
can be set lower, since it will never need to accommodate
inrush current and load current simultaneously.
When the circuit breaker trips, the GATE pin is immediately
pulled to V
GATE pin will remain low until the circuit breaker is reset
by pulling UV low, then high or cycling power to the part.
If more than 3 s deglitching time is needed to reject
current noise, an external resistor and capacitor can be
added to the sense circuit as shown in Figure 8. R7 and C3
act as a lowpass filter that will slow down the SENSE pin
voltage from rising too fast. Since the SENSE pin will
source current, typically 20 A, there will be a voltage drop

on R7. This voltage will be counted into the circuit breaker
trip voltage just as the voltage across the sense resistor.
A small resistor is recommended for R7. A 100 for R7
will cause a 2mV error. The following equation can be used
to estimate the delay time at the SENSE pin:
Where V(t) is the circuit breaker trip voltage, typically
50mV. V(t

voltage across the sense resistor when the short current
or over current is applied on it.
Example: A system has a 1A current load and a 0.02
sense resistor is used. An extended delay circuit needs to
be designed for a 50 s delay time after the load jumps to
5A. In this case:
If R7 = 100 , then C3 = 1 F.
