Switching an inductive load
Dynamic clamp operation at inductive load switch off
The dynamic clamp circuit works only when the inductive load is switched off. When the inductive load is switched
off, the voltage of OUT falls below 0 V. The gate voltage of SW1 is then nearly equal to GND because the IS terminal
is connected to GND via an external resister. Next, the voltage at the source of SW1 (= gate of output MOS) falls
below the GND voltage. SW1 is turned on, and the clamp diode is connected to the gate of the output MOS, activating
the dynamic clamp circuit.
When the over-voltage is applied to VCC, the gate voltage and source voltage of SW1 are both nearly equal to GND.
SW1 is not turned on, the clamp diode is not connected to the gate of the output MOS, and the dynamic clamp circuit
is not activated.
