The current of the channel load circuit has exceeded half of the current that is admissible for the protective function of the fuse. If a current is flowing that is too high, the IC switch switches off internally. The magnitude of the current depends on the number of impulses and the energy over time.

Protection class

Description

Permanent overcurrent protection

Channel inactive at Iout min. >2,0 / typ. 2,3 / max. <2,7A

Surge current protection

Channel inactive at Iout * toc :

e. g. Iout * toc -> 3Ax80ms / 5Ax33ms / 10Ax15ms / 20Ax7ms / 35Ax4ms (tolerance ±20%)

toc = response time of the overcurrent protection
