frequency source. Figure 20 shows one possible
schematic to be adapted depending the specific
needs. If the proposed schematic is used, the
pulse duration must be kept at a low value (500ns
is sufficient) for minimizing consumption. The
optocoupler must be able to provide 20mA
through the optotransistor.
PRIMARY PEAK CURRENT LIMITATION
The primary IDPEAK current and, as resulting
effect, the output power can be limited using the
simple circuit shown in figure 21. The circuit
based on Q1, R1 and R2 clamps the voltage on
the COMP pin in order to limit the primary peak
current of the device to a value:
IDPEAK
=
VCOMP−
HID
0.5
where:
VCOMP
=
0.6
x
R1 + R2
R2
The suggested value for R1+R2 is in the range of
220KΩ.
OVER-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION:
Over-temperature protection is based on chip
temperature sensing. The minimum junction
temperature at which over-temperature cut-out
occurs is 140oC while the typical value is 160oC.
The device is automatically restarted when the
junction temperature decreases to the restart
temperature threshold that is typically 40oC below
