I'd like to know about methods of protection from short-circuits during overloading.
- While there are some differences depending on the IC, in general overcurrent protection, when a current has flowed that is greater than a limit value that has been set either within the IC or externally, the switching on duty is limited and the output voltage is lowered. When the output voltage has dropped to a certain value or lower, short-circuit protection is also activated to turn off output power transistors.
