Additional information
The following chapters give the user in-depth information about the board's special features.
2.5.1
Open Load in OFF Detection (OLOFF)
For some loads, it may be necessary to check their availability without powering them up. For example, it may
be necessary to check if bulbs or LEDS (or the cable they are connected to) are intact or broken, without
creating a flash light by switching them on.
In the example circuitry in
below, a small current (few milliamperes) is injected into the output,
powerful enough to pull up the output if there is no load connected, but not powerful enough to activate the
load in a distrubing manner. If the output voltage of a PROFET
™
+2 12V becomes too high, drain-source voltage
will be lower than V
DS(OLOFF)
, and the PROFET
™
will provide an open load signal I
IS(OLOFF)
, if DEN = "high" while IN
= "low".
To avoid continuous power losses in OFF state in open load condition, and to be able to distinguish open load
from short-to-battery in OFF state, the pull-up circuitry must be deactivated.
