Output Over Current Protection
When the converter output is overloaded or
shorted, the module will go into hiccup mode. In
the hiccup mode, the brick is switched off
completely and restarted after a period of
approximately 550 ms. If the overload- or short
circuit is still present then, the converter will hiccup
until the overload is removed.
In order to be capable of starting large capacitive
loads, the converter provides a minimum on time
of approximately 30 ms.

Hiccup Timing at Overload
With increasing overload, the peak output current
is slightly increased (delta Io typically up to 13 A).
At the same time the on pulse duration is reduced,
so that the total energy in an overload condition is
limited.

Figure 38: Characteristic of over current protection
The off period allows hot tracks and loads to cool
down. The heating energy at the location of the
short circuit and in the PCB is proportional to Irms
2.
The following graph shows, that Irms
2 = Io pulse2
ton/T is reduced at high overload, which reduces
the danger of overheating and further damage to
the system.

Reduced output power of models ZB, ZD
The models ZB (1.8 V) and ZD (2.5 V) have a
reduced output power at minimum input voltage
when operated at highest base plate temperature
and increased Uo Set (over Trim or Sense). The
reduction is due to a duty cycle limitation of the
controller.
The rated output power of these two types [180 W
resp. 250 W] is available under the following
conditions:
Ui min >37 V: for TBP = 100 °C and Uo = Uo nom
Ui min >40 V: for TBP = 100 °C and Uo = 112 % Uo nom
At low input voltage, the ZB and ZD models will
switch off and soft restart periodically. The
operation is very similar to an under voltage
lockout or over current protection.
