Package Pin Description
PACKAGE PIN # PIN SYMBOL FUNCTION
8L PDIP & SO
1 FLAG Indicates whether current through the IGBT has reached a pre-
set level.
2 SENSE+ Positive input to current comparator.
3 SENSEÐ Ground (SENSE-) for current sense resistor.
4 Gnd Ground connection.
5 OUT Output voltage to IGBT (MOSFET) gate.
6 CLI Current limit input increase.
7 CTRL Control input.
8V
CC
Supply voltage.
The flag indicates when the voltage across the two sense
pins is approaching a current limit level that has been
determined by the value of the external sense resistor
(R
SENSE
) and the state of the CTRL and CLI pins. If the
voltage across the sense pins (SENSE+, SENSE-) is less
than the flag turn-on voltage, then the FLAG is off. When
the voltage between the sense pins equals the FLAG turn
on voltage, the FLAG will latch on until the CTRL pin
goes low. FLAG is disabled whenever CTRL is low.
Changing the CLI pin from low to high will increase
nominal FLAG turn on voltage by approximately 45%.
Table 1 FLAG Timing Sequence
The CS8312 output (OUT) saturates and supplies voltage
to the IGBT (or MOSFET) gate once the CTRL switches
from low to high. As current through the IGBT (MOSFET)
increases and the voltage across the sense resistor passes
the flag turn on voltage, the FLAG will turn on. If the current through the sense resistor continues to rise and the
sense resistor voltage reaches the regulation sense voltage, then the gate voltage will fall to a level that regulates
the driver and maintains the regulation sense voltage at
the sense resistor.
Changing the CLI pin from a logic low to a logic high
increases the FLAG turn on voltage by approximately
45% and the regulation sense voltage by approximately
39% respectively.
