Abstract:
In this paper we presented a 3-stage foldback current limit method for hot-swap and E-Fuse ICs which included both of transient thermal characteristic and electro-thermal instability considerations. This method also achieved a pseudo constant power control in linear mode operation of build-in MOSFET. NCP81295 is taken as an example in this article to describe this method.
