Use the following instructions to observe the transient overload performance:
- Configure the Jumper J2 to an appropriate position to obtain required over-current blanking period (tTIMER) as per 7.
- Configure the Jumper J6 position to desired reference voltage for over-current protection and active current sharing as mentioned in 7.
- Configure the Jumper J3 in a good position to set required circuit breaker threshold (IOCP) as per 7.
- Configure the Jumper J7 in a good position to set the required scalable fast-trip threshold (ISFT) as per 7.
- Set the input supply voltage VIN to 54V and the current limit of 100A.
- Connect the power supply between VIN (connector T1) and PGND (connector T3) and enable the power supply.
- Now apply an overload greater than IOCP and less than ISFT between VOUT (connector T2) and PGND (connector T3) for a time duration less than tTIMER decided by using jumper J2.
- Observe the waveforms using an oscilloscope.
The transient overload performance of TPS1685 eFuse on TPS1685EVM with two devices in parallel is shown in Figure 3-7.
