any capacitance. After the initial soft start (load current stabilizing) the timing capacitor
charges up to 4V and the device enters its normal mode of operation. The external MOSFET
will be now fully enhanced minimizing any serial voltage drop.
The ZXCT1032 has now entered its over-current detector mode; it is effectively “transparent”
to the load until the current monitor output exceeds the trip point.
(internally nominally 2.1V, although this threshold can easily be overdriven). As the load
current increases, so does the monitor voltage. When the current monitor output voltage
exceeds V
results:
a The output drive is disabled.
b The open collector Flag output goes low to indicate a fault condition.
c The 200 A current source is turned off and C
source.
