Placing a high-value electrolytic capacitor on the input (10- μF minimum) and output pin(s) is recommended when the output load is heavy. This precaution reduces power-supply transients that may cause ringing on the input. Additionally, bypassing the output with a 0.01- μF to 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor improves the immunity of the device to short-circuit transients. Over-current and Short Circuit Protection An internal sensing FET is employed to check for over-current conditions. Unlike current-sense resistors, sense FETs do not increase the series resistance of the current path. When an over-current condition is detected, the device maintains a constant output current and reduces the output voltage accordingly. Complete shutdown occurs only if the fault stays long enough to activate thermal limiting. Three possible overload conditions can occur. In the first condition, the output has been shorted to GND before the device is enabled or before VIN has been applied. The AP2161/AP2171 senses the short circuit and immediately clamps output current to a certain safe level namely ILIMIT. In the second condition, an output short or an overload occurs while the device is enabled. At the instance the overload occurs, higher current may flow for a very short period of time before the current limit function can react. After the current limit function has tripped (reached the over-current trip threshold), the device switches into current limiting mode and the current is clamped at ILIMIT. In the third condition, the load has been gradually increased beyond the recommended operating current. The current is permitted to rise until the current-limit threshold (ITRIG) is reached or until the thermal limit of the device is exceeded. The AP2161/AP2171 is capable of delivering current up to the current-limit threshold without damaging the device. Once the threshold has been reached, the device switches into its current limiting mode and is set at ILIMIT. Note that when the output has been shorted to GND at extremely low temperature (< -30 oC), a minimum 120- μF electrolytic capacitor on the output pin is recommended. A correct capacitor type with capacitor voltage rating and temperature characteristics must be properly chosen so that capacitance value does not drop too low at the extremely low temperature operation. A recommended capacitor should have temperature characteristics of less than 10% variation of capacitance change when operated at extremely low temp. Our recommended aluminum electrolytic capacitor type is Panasonic FC series. FLG Response When an over-current or over-temperature shutdown condition is encountered, the FLG open-drain output goes active low after a nominal 7-ms deglitch timeout. The FLG output remains low until both over-current and over-temperature conditions are removed. Connecting a heavy capacitive load to the output of the device can cause a momentary over-current condition, which does not trigger the FLG due to the 7-ms deglitch timeout. The AP2161/AP2171 is designed to eliminate false over-current reporting without the need of external components to remove unwanted pulses. |
