4.4 External Current Limit - Continuous (ECLC)
The continuous current limit of the Raven amplifier can be scaled down by an external
voltage or by an external resistor connected from pin J2/1 (ECLC) to pin J2/2 (ECLRET).

4.4.1 External Voltage

An external positive voltage (0 to 3.75 V) to terminal J2/1 (ECLC) in reference to terminal
J2/2 (ECLRET) will control the continuous current limit from zero to Ic(nom).
The voltage is internally clamped to 3.75 V whenever the external V ECLC is greater
than 3.75 V.
The external voltage source must be able to source/ sink at least ±0.4 mA.
The maximum absolute VECLC is 12 V.

4.4.2 External Resistor

Connect an external resistor between terminal J2/1 (ECLC) and terminal J2/2 (ECLRET).
The resistor value is given by:
0 < RECLC < 11.4 K (1/8 Watt)
At R ECLC greater than 11.4 K, the current limit will be internally clamped to the
nominal value.
IC(no m) is the nominal continuous current limit of the amplifier.
4.5 External Current Limit - Peak (ECLP)
The peak current limit of the Raven amplifier can be scaled down by an external voltage
or by an external resistor connected between pin J2/3 (ECLP) and pin J2/2 (ECLRET).

4.5.1 External Voltage

An external positive voltage (0 to 3.75 V) to terminal J2/3 (ECLP) in reference to terminal
J2/2 (ECLRET) will control the peak current limit from zero to Ip(nom).
The voltage is internally clamped to 3.75 V whenever the external VECLP is highe r than
3.75 V.
The external voltage source must be able to source/sink at least ±0.4 mA.
The maximum absolute VECLP is 12 V.
