Overcurrent limit (OC)
The overcurrent limit prevents the output current flowing through the load
to change beyond the programmed overcurrent limit. If the load effect
exceeds the programmed overcurrent limit, the CV output will be lowered
to maintain the output power across the load. The combination of the OC
and OCP features create a closed loop circuit protection for sensitive load
behaviors.
Setting the OC level
The OC level can be programmed when the output is enabled (OUT) or
disabled (SBY). Ensure that the U3606A is operating in constant voltage
mode. (The CV annunciator is illuminated.)
