The key to short-circuit protection using an integrated MOSFET/controller IC with internal current sensing is tripping the overcurrent comparator circuit and shutting the MOSFET off as fast as ...

Transistor VT2 provides short-circuit protection to the load, with red LED D4 indicting an overload. (D2 blows out simultaneously with an overload.) Short-circuit current does not exceed 38 mA.

According to the company, when combined with Breaktor circuit protection technology, which combines current switching and reconfigurable bi-directional short circuit protection with fast tripping ...
