STMicroelectronics RHRPMICL1A
The RHRPMICL1A is an integrated current limiter designed to work with an external P-channel power MOSFET. It can be used as a universal solution to protect a power supply (from 8.5 V) from anomalous external current demand (for example, in case the load enters latch-up conditions). It can protect or replace conventional fuses and can also be used to control redundant loads.FEATURES

● Evaluation boards available
DESCRIPTION
The RHRPMICL1A features 3 user-configurable operating modes (re-triggerable, latched, foldback), with different behaviors in case of overload/short-circuit events. All key parameters of the application, including the current limit, the trip-off and recovery times and the undervoltage protection are user configurable, making the RHRPMICL1A suitable for a wide range of applications.
