Use the following instructions to
evaluate current limit behavior of the TPS26610 (U1):
- Set the jumper setting J4 in 2–3 position to set MODE = 180
kΩ
- Install jumper J6 in 1-2 position to connect 49.9 Ω as burden
resistor
- Set dual polarity regulated power supply to +15 V : 0 V : –15 V
and apply the power at connector J2
- Apply a voltage of 1.6 V at I_IN_1 and then step-up to 8 V to
emulate overload situation on TPS26610
- The device limits the current to 60 mA for approximately 50 ms
and after that the current is limited to 30 mA for approximately 100-ms time and
then auto retries for every 1.6 s
- Step-down the voltage at I_IN_1 to 1.6 V to remove the overload
fault
Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3
show current limit behavior captured on the TPS2661EVM eFuse Evaluation Board. Figure 5-4
shows device response during recovery from overload fault.
