摘要
A fully integrated overcurrent protection system is presented suitable for application in integrated class-D audio power amplifiers. Accurate overcurrent detection is used based on parallel measurement of the voltage drop across the DMOS power transistors. A logic circuit enables continuous current limiting during overload situations. Actual short circuits can be distinguished from load impedance minima using a simple short-circuit discrimination method.
