MC33091A that has a nominal value of 100 A and R X is the
external resistor in series with the drain of the TMOS device
that establishes the value of the voltage to current
proportionality constant. Since the parallel combination of R T
and C T appear at the timer pin (V T ), the timer pin voltage, V T ,
can be written as:
overcurrent condition exists, the TMOS device will be in the
“on” state. If the TMOS device experiences an overcurrent
condition, I SQ flowing through R T will increase causing C T to
charge up, in turn causing the timer voltage, V T , to exceed the
threshold, V TH , of the upper comparator. This sets the latch
causing the Q output of the latch to go high (and the Q output
to go low), causing the TMOS gate and Fault output (Pin 6) to
be pulled low, disabling the TMOS device. Both the current
squaring circuit (I SQ ) and the charge pump are disabled
whenever the Q output of the latch goes low. Using Equation
2, the fault time response for an overcurrent condition can be
written as:
voltage at Pin 8 decays according to the R T C T time constant
until the V TL threshold of the lower comparator is reached.
At this point the latch is reset and the TMOS gate, charge
pump and the current squaring circuit are again enabled,
again turning on the TMOS device. The MC33091A will
repeatedly duty cycle the TMOS gate in this manner so long
as the overcurrent condition exists and the input control
signal remains in a high logic state. The Fault output (Pin 6)
will likewise duty cycle.
(V TH R X 2 I Q ) / (V DS 2 R T )
undefined. Solving for V DS for this case yields the minimum
drain to source voltage necessary which will not allow V T to
charge to the V TH threshold of the upper comparator. In other
words, whenever the TMOS on–time period is infinite, no
TMOS overcurrent condition exists. The minimum drain to
source voltage required for uninterrupted continuous TMOS
operation is:
conditions; the values chosen for R X and R T should be such
that the upper comparator threshold voltage is never
reached. This insures the TMOS device will always be in
operation so long as the V DS(min) is not exceeded.

occur when the load, and in turn the source, are shorted to
ground resulting in the full battery voltage (V S ) to appear
directly across the TMOS device. This condition causes
maximum I SQ current to be produced by the current squaring
circuit. The maximum I SQ current experienced is:

threshold of the upper comparator) should be set long
enough so as to not allow the in–rush current of incandescent
lamp to cause a false trigger, yet short enough to afford the
TMOS device survival protection against direct shorts under
worst case supply and temperature conditions.
TMOS Driver Power Dissipation
the TMOS gate. The power dissipation in this mode can be
significant. For this reason proper heatsinking of the TMOS
device is essential as is the selection of compatible external
components so as to protect the TMOS device from
destruction. In most cases, the heatsink required to handle
the TMOS power dissipation under normal operating
conditions will be adequate to insure the device survives a
short circuit for an indefinite time under worst case conditions.
direct load short condition. If the source voltage is less than
about 1.5 V above ground, which will normally be the case in
the event of a dead short, the MC33091A will clamp the gate
to source voltage at 7.0 V. This action will limit the TMOS
current and power dissipated under a direct load short
condition.
