About figure 1,2,3 in the TL783 datasheet.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TL783

Hello!

I have four questions about TL783 datasheet.

About figure 1 and 2.

  1.What meaning is "TW"?

  2.Why is "Tj" constant?
     Do not device heat?

  3.Why has "Output Current Limit" decreased?
     Though "VI-VO" is increased.

About figure 3.

  4.Why has "Output Current Limit" decreased?
     Though "Tj" is constant.


Could you please teach me?
Thanks.

    Hello Nasu,

    The current limit for this part varies with time.  The current limit also varies as a function of the hottest semiconductor junction temperature, Tj.  Of course the hottest semiconductor junction temperature is a function of the ambient temperature and the power dissipated across the part (Tj = Ta + Pd*Theta_ja,  where Theta_ja is the thermal resistance (degC/Watt) betweeen the junction and the ambient air)

    Figure 2 shows the current limit measurement for the case for various junction temperatures versus the input-output voltage dropped across the part measured at 1ms after current limit is reached.  Figure 2 shows the same information measured 30ms after current limit.

    Regards

    Hello! Bill,

    Thank you for your quick reply.
    I have a additional question.

    I expected that "Thermal-Shutdown Protection" decreases "Output Current Limit" in figure 3.
    However, Tj=25degC (constant) in the figure.
    Is my idea incorrect?

    Could you please teach me?


    Best Regards.

    Hello Nasu,

    In figure 3, Tj is only 25C when time = 0mS. During the 30mS test Tj will rise as expected.
