4. Current Limit Circuit
Figure 12 IL
The current limit circuit of the S-8340/8341 Series protects the external transistors from being damaged by heat due
to an overload or magnetic saturation of coils. Inserting a SENSE resistor (R
source or external NPN bipolar transistor emitter and Vss and entering a connection point with a sensor resistor into
the SENSE pin enables the current limit to function. Refer to “ Standard Circuit”.
A current limiting comparator in the IC monitors the SENSE pin for reaching the current limit detection voltage
(V
oscillator so that the current flowing in the external transistor is limited. At the ON signal of the next clock, the
external transistor is turned on and the current limit detection function is resumed.
However, this current limit circuit contains a CR filter with a time constant (τ = 220 ns (typ.)) between the SENSE
pin and the current limiting comparator in the IC to prevent detection errors caused by the spike voltage generated
at the SENSE pin. If the time (pulse width t
until the current limit circuit operates is short, the current value that is actually limited becomes higher than the
current limit setting value determined by V
expressed by the following equation :
Remark
Caution Therefore, this current limit function does not guarantee full protection of external parts by I
For example, usage when the current value that the current limit circuit actually functions to raise the current limit
set value decided by V
the output voltage or situations when the output voltage falls due to the activation of the current limit circuit and
become close to the input voltage.
Figure 12 shows an example of the actually measured increase of the peak current flowing through the coil when
the current limit circuit functions while the input voltage is nearing the output voltage.
Figure 13 shows an example of the actually measured increase of the peak current flowing through the coil when
the output voltage drops and approaches the input voltage by increasing the output current after the current limit
circuit functions.
