7.4 Over current and Short circuit protection Function (OCP & HICCUP)
An OCP characteristic is shown in the Fig7-6. The "drooping type" over-current-protection is equipped in the
NR263S. As for the over-current-protection circuit,this IC detects a peak current to flow to the switching-transistor.
When peak current exceeds setup value, a Ton-period of the transistor is made to shorten forcibly, and an output
voltage VO is made to decrease, and an output current is restricted. In this case, by the decline of the output voltage
VO, when a VO-terminal- voltage VO decreases to 3.5V 70% of the internal-reference -voltage (5V) , by the
reducing of the switching-frequency (the FDOWN mode),the "drooping characteristic" is improved in the low output
voltage.As shown in the Fig12, Moreover, when a VO-terminal-voltage VO decreases more and it becomes under
30% of the internal reference voltage (*5V→1.5V), the Soft-start capacitor CSS is charged by internal current source
ISS=5μA.When a SS-terminal-voltage VSS rises to 2.2V, the interval-operation mode (HICCUP) becomes effective,
and the continuous-switching-operation is canceled. After that, the soft-start capacitor CSS is discharged by the
constant current (=-2.5[μA]) , and the suspension-period of interval-operation is set up. The soft-start is restarted
when a SS-terminal-voltage VSS decreases to 0.23[V]. The interval-operation mode (HICCUP) is maintained due to
this repetition. By becoming the interval-operation mode, part stress such as heat-generation can be eased. An output
voltage is resumed to normal condition automatically when over-current condition is canceled. * When a HICCUP
function is invalidated, the short-current becomes continuously such as a characteristic of the red line in the Fig7-7.
