Short-Circuit Protection
with a MOSFET
021
If you have an application in which a MOSFET is already
used to switch a load, it is relatively easy to add short-circuit
or overload protection. Here we make use of the internal
resistance R
DS(ON)
, which produces a voltage drop that
depends on the amount of current flowing through the
MOSFET. The voltage across the internal resistance can be
sensed using simple comparator or even a transistor, which
switches on at a voltage of around 0.5 V. You can thus avoid
the use of a sense resistor (shunt), which usually produces
an undesirable extra voltage drop.
The comparator can be monitored by a microcontroller. In
case of an overload, the software can initiate suitable coun-
termeasures (PWM regulation, alarm, emergency stop
etc.). It is also conceivable to connect the comparator out-
put directly to the gate of the MOSFET, in order to immedi-
ately cut off the transistor in case of a short circuit.
