Introduction
The new IR331x devices designed in P3 technology provide
more accuracy of the current feefback.
The IR331X devices suit for any application where the load
current sensing is required. IR331X is fully protected :
programmable current shutdown, over temperature
shutdown and reverse battery protection.

WAIT Function
To provide a high level of protection, the IC features a WAIT
function.
Without the WAIT function, a thermal runaway would occur:
When the IC reaches the over temperature shutdown
threshold, the IC switches off. If the user restarts the IC
immediately, the IC temperature goes beyond the
temperature shutdown threshold because of the over
temperature circuitrys delay ( due to the turn on delay) .
Permanently switching on a short circuit would end up in a
destructive thermal run away.

The worth case is at 40C because :
Id - I offset@150C
Ratio@150C
Rdson@25C
= 1.25
Rdson@ - 40C
Assuming a low offset voltage for the amplifier, the I offset is
kept low : less than 0.4% of the full scale range over
temperature ( i.e. 0.25A/80A=0.31%) .
Id = 80A
I offset@25C = +/- 0.2A
I offset@-40C = +/- 0.25A
I offset@150C = +/- 0.11A
Ratio@25C = 8800
Rdson@25C = 5.5m
The worst case is at 150C
with ratio@150C = ratio@25C 5%

When the device turns on, the current increases in the load.
The Ifb pin voltage increases until reaching the current
shutdown threshold ( typically 4.5V ) and the device turns off.
The voltage across the load is the active clamp voltage.
