Product overview
Description
The STEF512GR is an integrated dual electronic fuse, designed to protect circuitry on its output from overcurrent and overvoltage events, in those applications requiring hot swap operation and in-rush current control.
The device embeds two independent electronic fuses, one for the 5 V rails and one for the 12 V rails. Thanks to the very low ON-resistance of the integrated Power FETs, the voltage drop from the main supply to the load is very low during normal operations.
The start-up time can be adjusted by the user for each eFuse, via two small soft-start capacitors, connected to the relevant pins.
In this manner, the inrush current at startup can be kept under control.
The maximum load current is precisely limited, by utilizing a sense FET topology, to factory-defined values.
The device also provides a precise overvoltage clamp for each channel, preventing the load from being damaged by power supply failures, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO), assuring that the input voltage is above the minimum operating threshold, before the power device is turned on.
When an overload condition occurs, the STEF512GR limits the output current to the predefined safe value. If the anomalous overload condition persists, the device goes into thermal shutdown, the internal switch is opened and the load disconnected from the power supply.
