More Information
Summary:A power system and related methods provide sense resistor fault detection and safe operation of switching power converters and connected devices such as portable electronic devices powered by the switching power converter. The power system detects an open circuit or short circuit condition of the sense resistor and controls output current of the switching power converter to ensure safe operating conditions of the power system and connected equipment. The power system can also detect initial inrush current of the connected equipment and detect a duty cycle of the switching power converter to positively detect a short circuit condition of the sense resistor.
