ZXCT1032 High-side inrush controller and electronic fuse Description The ZXCT1032 is a high-side current monitor that drives a PMOS or PNP transistor to provide in-rush current limit and over-current protection. The ZXCT1032 includes a high accuracy high-side current monitor, a start-up timer and a re-try inhibit timer. The ZXCT1032 takes the voltage developed across a current shunt resistor and compares this with an externally set trip point. It works in three modes: • Linear soft-start • Over-current detector • Over-current disconnect/fuse Linear soft-start Upon power up the ZXCT1032 enters a linear soft-start mode. During which the output current ramps up from zero to a maximum user defined trip point. The trip point is set by the voltage on ISET pin and RSENSE. The ramp rate is determined by capacitor CT. The soft start ensures that capacitive loads are smoothly charged without causing excessive power supply startup transients. Over-current detectior When external capacitor CT has charged up above the VISET the ZXCT1032 switches from its soft-start mode to its over-current detection mode. During this mode the external MOSFET will be fully enhanced reducing the its voltage drop and power dissipation. While in this mode the internal current monitor continually checks the output current and compares it to the trip-current level determined by VISET. Over-current disconnect/fuse If the trip current limit is exceeded at any time the ZXCT1032 enters its Over-current disconnect mode. The drive pin is driven high, turning the pass MOSFET off; the flag output goes low indicating a fault. The drive and flag outputs are latched in these states for a period determined by CT, VISET and the internally set discharge current (3µA typical). After CT has discharged to 80mV the ZXCT1032 will restart into its linear soft-start mode. The CT charge and discharge times have been ratioed to so that the power dissipation in the pass MOSFET should allow indefinite operation in the event of a continuous load failure. Pin 3 description: Determines the load current trip level or constant current level. ISET can be left open circuit (internal 2.1V reference) or driven via a DC voltage or µC PWM output. Its source impedance is 50k⍀.

Most negative terminal of the device. No other pin should go below this voltage. 2 CT An external capacitor is connected to this pin and is used to determine the period for constant-current mode and the timeout before restarting. To reduce excessive heating during the soft start mode capacitors less than 220nF are reocmmended. 3 ISET Determines the load current trip level or constant current level. This can be driven via a DC voltage or via a µC PWM output. VSENSE = (VISET-150mV)/10 An input <100mV will disable the high-side switch (i.e. set IOUT = 0) If left open-circuit, an accurate internal DC reference of 2.1V and source impedance of 50k⍀ is used to set the voltage on this pin. (External drivers must take this reference into account.) 4 Flag This is an active low open collector output that goes low whenever the current limit set by the choice of RSENSE and ISET is reached or in the event of a shorted load. 5 Drive This is the output drive pin to the external high side referred switch on the ZXCT1032, capable of driving PMOS and PNP transistors. 6 IN- The load referred input to the current monitor control loop. 7 N/C Not connected 8 IN+ Acts as both the supply pin to the ZXCT1032 and the supply referred sense input to the current monitor control loop.

This causes the output amplifier's drive pin to fall in voltage, progressively turning on the PMOS transistor. The load current is monitored by the current monitor and the amplifier control loop controls the load current allowing it to increase gradually (soft-start mode) as the voltage on CT increases. During the soft-start phase the load current will start to build up while there is a large voltage across the pass MOSFET; this can lead to large power dissipation if large capacitive loads are driven and/or large CT is used.

After the initial soft start (load current stabilizing) the timing capacitor charges up to 4V and the device enters its normal mode of operation. The external MOSFET will be now fully enhanced minimizing any serial voltage drop.

As the load current increases, so does the monitor voltage. When the current monitor output voltage exceeds VISET, the trip comparator output goes high and sets the latch with the following results: a The output drive is disabled. b The open collector Flag output goes low to indicate a fault condition. c The 200A current source is turned off and CT starts to discharge slowly via a 3.3A current source.

In the case of a permanent fault damage to the PMOS transistor should not occur because it is only on for a short part of the overall cycle. 6 The current monitor has an intentional output offset of +150mV. If VISET is held at 0V, the output of the trip comparator will be permanently high and the output will be completely disabled.
