5. Functions and operational precautions
5-1. Protection function
(1) Detection of VCC under voltage (LVSD operation)
•
When the VCC voltage goes below the LVSD operating voltage (LVSDON), the output IGBTs of the top
and bottom arms are all turned off regardless of the input signal.
•
This function has hysteresis (Vrh). When the VCC voltage goes up again, the system goes back to a
state where the ouput IGBT operates according to the input signal at a level equal to or exceeding the
LVSD recovery voltage (LVSDOFF).

(2) Current limitation
(a) Operation description
•
The system monitors the current flowing through the shunt resistance Rs at the RS pin (see Fig. 5-2).
When the reference voltage for current limitation (Vref = typ. 0.5V) is exceeded, the IGBT of the
bottom arm is turned off.
•
Reset after current limitation is performed in each cycle of the internal clock signal (VTR pin voltage).
