Description
V=e×(1−exp(−t/(C×R)) (2)
図1Bに示すように、電圧eの立上りで電流iはe/Rに向かって急激に立上り、時定数C×Rで指数関数的に急激に減少する。抵抗2の抵抗値Rにより、変化の具合が異なる。
電圧Vがe/2に達すると、以後抵抗2に印加される電圧はe/2を下回り、電流iはe/(2×R)を下回るため、電流制限は解除される。電圧Vがe/2に達する時刻をt0とすると、電流制限なしの場合、容量3はt0においてe/2より高い電圧まで充電されるため、以後の電流iは電流制限時より小さく、電圧Vの増加率も電流制限時より小さい。電流制限がある場合、電流iは時定数C×R指数関数的に急激に減少する。図2Bから分かるように、電流上限値を適切に設定することで、充放電時間にあまり影響を与えずに、過渡電流のピークを効果的に抑制できる。
Iave=C×V/Tで与えられる。
なお、C×V/Tは平均電流Iaveを表す。
電流上限制御信号は供給電流を1.5mAに制限する。
このような電流制限回路が3個並列に接続されている。
ただし、αは負荷電流の上限値の平均電流に対する比を示す係数、Tは駆動周期、Vは駆動周期Tにおける出力電圧、Ceは駆動周期Tにおける出力電圧Vに対する駆動ラインの実負荷容量である。
