Its current supervision and immediate action on the switches ensure high security for the boards and the supplies thus protected against short-circuit or over current. In case of short-circuit or over current detection,the TD230 immediately switches off the corresponding MOSFET, thus disconnecting the board from the supply. After several automatic restart attempts, a definitive shutdown of the circuit is done if the shortcircuit or over current persists over an externally adjustable time, until the TD230 is reset by temporary INHIBIT signal or temporary switching off of the power supply (hot disconnection/reconnection). If the board is disconnected from the positive supply by the TD230 it will automatically be disjoncted from the negative supply too. TD230 integrates an induction step-up converter that provides 13.5V above the positive rail to drive the h...
