AN-6920
[STEP-B5] Design the Over-Temperature
Protection Circuit
The adjustable Over-Temperature Protection (OTP) circuit
is shown in Figure 20. As can be seen, a constant sourcing
current source (IRT) is connected to the RT pin. Once VRT is
lower than 0.8V for longer than 10ms debounce time,
FAN6920 is latched off. RRT can be determined by:
0.8V = (RRT + RNTC @OT ) ×100µ A
(41)
Figure 20. Adjustable Over-Temperature Protection
and External Latched-off Function
(Design Example) Assuming the resistance of NTC at over-
temperature protection point is 4.3kΩ;
RRT
= 0.8V - 4.3kΩ = 3.7kΩ
100µ A
