The integrated Over Current Protection (OCP) function aims at protecting the IGBT in case of overcurrent and
short-circuit conditions. The voltage drop over a sense resistor located on the auxiliary emitter path of the
IGBT is monitored via the OCP while the device issues a PWM ON command. The voltage at pin OCP is
externally filtered by an (optional) RC filter and compared (using internal voltage comparator) to the internal
reference threshold VOCPD1(see Figure 20). The result of the comparison is available by reading bit
SSTAT2.OCPC1.
Note:
Bit SSTAT2.OCPC1 blanked by the selected blanking time.
At the beginning of a turn-on sequence, the internal evaluation of the voltage at pin OCP is inhibited for the
duration the blanking time defined by register SOCP. Once the blanking time has elapsed, the voltage at pin
OCP is compared to an internal reference voltage.
In case the measured voltage at pin OCP is higher than the internal threshold VOCPD1, an Emergency (Safe)
Turn-off sequence is initiated, bit SER.OCPER is set and a fault notification is issued on pin NFLTA (in case of
an OPM transition the state machine - see Chapter 2.4.7). The OCP function is not active while the output stage
is in PWM OFF state.

Notes
1. If TLTOFF times are used, these times should be taken into consideration for the blanking time to reach valid
voltage levels.
2. AMCLD delay is not in use for safe-off triggered by DESAT or OCP events.
3. In case the OCP pin is open, the pull-up resistance ensures that an OCP event is generated.
4. Both DESAT and OCP protection mechanisms can be used simultaneously.
