RMS current of the embedded power MOSFET

As the A5975D embeds the high side switch, the internal power dissipation is sometimes

the bottleneck for the output current capability (refer to Section 8.3 for the estimation of the

operating temperature).

Nevertheless, as mentioned in the general description on page 1, the device can manage a

continuous output current of 3 A in most of the application conditions.

However, the rated maximum RMS current of the power elements is 2 A, where:

and the real duty cycle D:

Fixing the limit of 2 A for IRMS HS, the maximum output current can be derived, as illustrated

in Figure 18.

Short-circuit protection

In overcurrent protection mode, when the peak current reaches the current limit, the device

reduces the TON down to its minimum value (approximately 250 nsec) and the switching

frequency to approximately one third of its nominal value even when synchronized to an

external signal (see Section 5.4: Current protection). In these conditions, the duty cycle is

strongly reduced and, in most applications, this is enough to limit the current to ILIM. In any

event, in case of heavy short-circuit at the output (VO = 0 V) and depending on the

application conditions (VCC value and parasitic effect of external components), the current

peak could reach values higher than ILIM.
