Protection Functions
The following ICL8001G / ICLS8082G protection functions are provided.
6.1
Output OVP
By means of VCC overvoltage detection it is possible to switch to Auto Restart Mode, which causes a blinking
effect of the LED. The output voltage threshold
Voovp_vcc
can be adjusted by means of the resistor
Rvcc
in the
VCC supply circuit.
A second output overvoltage threshold
Voovpth
can be adjusted to set Latched Off Mode using the IC threshold
Vzcovp = 3.7 V. For a decreased output OV threshold Voovpth = 35 V the Rzc2 resistance value is increased to
Rzc2 = 2.7 kΩ based on the equation
(25)
6.2
Output Short Circuit Protection
In the case of an output short circuit, the IC will switch to Auto Restart Mode by means of VCC undervoltage
detection. No special dimensioning is required for this purpose.
6.3
Input Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
Upon input overvoltage the foldback point correction becomes active and limits the LED driver input power at the
thresholds stated above.
