For example, you can see what would happen if the vehicle owner decides to make the car interior brighter by connecting a 65 Watt/Inrush current 40A automotive headlamp into the interior lamp socket! After making those changes, just push the green "Play" arrow and a new simulation will be run ... after about a minute, you'll see that the NCV84160 limits the peak current to under 12A, and eventually enters on/off thermal limit cycling at an even further reduced peak current level, protecting the upstream power distribution system from the overload condition.</p><p>(Note also that the simulation automatically stops after 10 thermal limit cycles, to reduce simulation time for this indefinite failure mode operating condition)</p> About text formats Tags Select a tag from the list or create your own.Drag to re-order taxonomy terms.
