The input Vin of the VB027ASP is fed from a low power signal generated by an external controller that determines both dwell time and ignition point. During Vin high (≥ 4V) the VB027ASP increases current in the coil to the desired, internally set current level. After reaching this level, the coil current remains constant until the ignition point, that corresponds to the transition of Vin from high to low (typ. 1.9V threshold). During the coil current switch-off, the primary voltage HVc is clamped at an internally set value Vcl, typically 345V. The transition from saturation to desaturation,coil current limiting phase, must have the ability to accomodate an overvoltage. A maximum overshoot of 20V is allowed. THERMAL BEHAVIOUR You can see in the block diagram of the VB027ASP a box called overtemperature protection. The purpose of this circuit is to shift the current level at witch the 1st diagnostic is activated down of about 2.5A. This information can be managed by the micro that can take the corrective actions in order to reduce the power dissipation. This block is not an effective protection but just 4/8 an overtemperature detection. The shift down of the 1st flag level cannot be present for temperatures lower than 125 oC. As an example of its behaviour you can suppose a very simple motor management system in which the micro does just a simple arithmetic calculation to decide when to switch off the device after the 1st flag threshold. EXAMPLE: Iflag info after X msec. (Iflag = 4.5A) Iswitch off after K*X msec. As soon as the temperature rises over the overtemp. threshold, the 1st diagnostic is shifted down to about 2.5A and in this example, the switch off current will be K*X*2.5/4.5 helping the system to reduce the power dissipation. As you can see this behaviour is not a protection but just a feedback for the micro. FEEDBACK When the collector current exceeds 4.5A, the feedback signal is turned high and it remains so, until the load current reaches 5.8A (second threshold), at that value, the feedback signal is turned low. OVERVOLTAGE The VB027BSP can withstand the following transients of the battery line: -100V/2msec (Ri = 10 Ω) +100V/0.2msec (Ri = 10 Ω) +50V/400msec (Ri = 4.2 Ω, with VIN = 3 V) VB027ASP FIGURE 1: Application Circuit FIGURE 2: Switching Waveforms 5/8 VB027ASP FIGURE 3: Maximum Icl Versus Temperature FIGURE 5: Iflag2 Versus Temperature 6/8 FIGURE 4: Iflag1 Versus Temperature VB027ASP PowerSO-10 MECHANICAL DATA mm DIM.
