● The following describes the operations of each circuit in detail.
(1) Peak current cut (Ip) off circuit
Fig.8-3 shows the Peak Current Cut off Circuit and Waveforms at Each Section.
● Ip cut off circuit detects an instantaneous large current and stops drive output signal to protect parts such
as power module, etc.
● As shown in the figure, when current exceeding 18A flows, voltage at point A detected by detection
resistor is input to e terminal of COM (A). If it exceeds d terminal voltage, which is the set value, output
pin voltage (point B) of COM (A) changes from Lo to Hi. Thus, Q1 is turned ON to stop drive curcuit and,
at the same time, voltage at point C changes from Hi to Lo to send Ip signal to pin ™ of microcomputer
(observed by pin º of HIC) and microcomputer stops drive.
● On the other hand, e terminal voltage is pulled up by R1, and DC current becomes 0A. Even when voltage
at point A returns to 0V, (power is not supplied - current value of zero), Output is temporarily held in Hi
state since voltage at - terminal is high. (memory function).
● Just before drive signal is output the next time, Microcomputer switches pin £ from Hi to Lo (observed
by pin ⁄ of HIC), so that e terminal voltage < d terminal voltage to release memory function and return
to initial state.
