The device is specified for inverse load current operation (VOUT > Vbb > 0V). The current sense feature is not available during this kind of operation (IIS = 0). With IIN = 0 (e.g. input open) only the intrinsic drain source diode is conducting resulting in considerably increased power dissipation. If the device is switched on (VIN = 0), this power dissipation is decreased to the much lower value RON(INV) * I².


Note: Temperature protection during inverse load current operation is not possible!



Ⅴ. Externally adjustable current limit of BTS50085-1TMA

If the device is conducting, the sense current can be used to reduce the short circuit current and allow higher lead inductance (see diagram above). The device will be turned off, if the threshold voltage of T2 is reached by IS*RIS . After a delay time defined by RV*CV T1 will be reset. The device is turned on again, the short circuit current is defined by IL(SC) and the device is shut down after td(SC) with latch function.



Ⅵ. How to use and layout BTS50085-1TMA correctly?


• Over-temperature protection: If the BTS50085-1TMA needs to work in a high-temperature environment, the heat dissipation and ventilation conditions around the chip must be fully considered in the design to avoid chip failure caused by overheating.


• PCB layout: We need to ensure that the PCB layout is compact and concise to reduce circuit length and loop area, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. During the layout process, we should avoid placing large current loops or other components that may cause interference around the BTS50085-1TMA to ensure the normal operation of the chip and the reliability of signal transmission.


• Power and ground wire layout: In order to ensure the stable operation of the BTS50085-1TMA, we need to ensure that the power and ground wires provided for it are short and thick to reduce resistance and voltage drop. The power and ground wires should be as close as possible to the connection point of the chip to reduce line losses. In addition, be sure to separate the power ground wire and signal ground wire of the chip and arrange them reasonably on the PCB to reduce electromagnetic interference.


• Thermal design: In order to ensure that the BTS50085-1TMA can maintain normal operating temperature under various load conditions, we need to provide it with sufficient heat dissipation. This can be achieved through the use of heat sinks, heat sinks or other cooling technologies, the specific choice should be determined based on the actual application requirements. At the same time, we should install the heat dissipation component near the BTS50085-1TMA to ensure the best heat dissipation effect.


• Testing and verification: Before the final design is finalized, we must go through an exhaustive testing and verification process to verify that the BTS50085-1TMA can operate stably in various working scenarios and meet predetermined performance standards.
