PRINCIPLEOF OPERATION
The VB026BSP is mainly intended as a high
voltage power switch device driven by a logic
levelinput and interfacesdirectly to a high energy
electronicignitioncoil.
The input Vin of the VB026BSPis fed from a low
power signal generated by an external controller
that determinesboth dwelltime and ignition point.
During Vin high (≥ 4V) the VB026BSP increases
current in the coil to the desired, internally set
currentlevel.
After reaching this level, the coil current remains
constant until the ignition point, that corresponds
to the transition of Vin from high to low (typ. 1.9V
threshold).
During the coil current switch-off, the primary
4/7
voltage HVc is clamped at an internally set value
Vcl, typically360V.
The transitionfrom saturation to desaturation,coil
current limiting phase, must have the ability to
accomodateanovervoltage.Amaximum
overshootof 20V is allowed.
FEEDBACK
When the collector current exceeds 6.5A, the
feedback signal is turned high and it remains so,
untilthe input voltage isturned-off.
OVERVOLTAGE
The VB026BSP can withstand the following
transientsof the battery line:
