Figure 5-11. Current-Limit Behavior of TPS26612 Under Sustained Overload
5.7 Current Limiting for V
IN
< –V
s
Use the following instructions to evaluate current limit behavior for input voltages lower than negative bias supply
(–V
s
):
1. Replace the TPS26610 with TPS26613 in U1 position
2. The current limiting behavior is independent of MODE setting for V
IN
< –V
s
, so jumper setting J4 can be in
any position
3. Open jumper J6
4. Connect 600 Ω at terminal J3
5. Set dual polarity regulated power supply to +20 V : 0 V : –20 V and apply the power at connector J2
6. Apply a voltage of –24 V at I_IN_1
7. The device limits the current to 32 mA for approximately 100 ms and then auto retries for every 800 ms
shows current limit behavior captured on the TPS2661EVM with TPS26613 in U1 position.
