Overcurrent Protection Circuit

Overcurrent Protection Circuit

Overcurrent Protection Circuit for High Side Relay Diver

LTC1154
The LTC1154 single high side gate driver allows using low
cost N-channel FETs for high side switching applications. An
internal charge pump boosts the gate drive voltage above
the positive rail, fully enhancing an N-channel MOS switch
with no external components. Micropower operation, with
8μA standby current and 85μA operating current, allows
use in virtually all systems with maximum effi ciency.
Included on chip is programmable overcurrent sensing.

A time delay can be added to prevent false triggering on
high inrush current loads.
