Overcurrent Protection Circuit: Range of Operation
When an overcurrent flow occurs, if the increased voltage between the drain and source of the FET is detected by means of the external FET (Q1) resistor, operational stability is lost when the external FET (Q1) ON interval determined by the oscillation frequency, input voltage, and output voltage falls below 450 ns.
Therefore, the circuit should be used within a range that ensures that the ON interval does not fall below 450ns, according to the following formula.
ON interval 450 (ns) ≥ | VO (V) | |
VIN (V) | ⋅ | |
| fOSC (Hz) |
If the ON interval of the external FET (Q1) is below 450ns, we recommend the use of an overcurrent detection resistor RS to detect overcurrent, as shown below.
This example shows the range of operation of the overcurrent detection function with a setting of Vo = 3.3V.
