Note 1: tC denotes software cycle time.
Note 2: Current limit for short circuit protection to protect cabling and to limit internal power
dissipation.
Note 3: Exceeding the max value might cause damage to input.
Note 4: The maximum output current depends on the load and temperature.
Note 5: Pulse width must be greater that the software cycle time. For example with 50/50 pulse
ratio, the pulse frequency is 1 / (2*pulse width)
Note 6: When the limit is exceeded, the output voltage circuit starts to limit the current by
switching the output voltage. The switching does not affect the application software.
Note 7: Overload conditions
Note 8: Includes hysteresis. The input state is maintained until the second voltage limit is
exceeded.
