STFC01:Integrated current limiter

The STFC01 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 10 V) from anomalous external current demands (for example, if the load is in latch-up condition).

It can protect or replace conventional fuses and can also be used to control loads.

The STFC01 features 3 user-configurable operating modes (retriggerable, latch, foldback), with different behaviors in case of overload/short-circuit events.

All key parameters of the application, including the current limit, the trip-off, recovery times and the undervoltage protection, are user-configurable, making the STFC01 suitable for a wide range of applications. Because of its floating ground, it can even be used on power buses with voltage above its maximum specification 52 V supply voltage.

The status and control pins allow the remote control of the device and the load.
