Inrush current limiter and system including the same
Abstract:
Provided is an inrush current limiter and a system including the same, the inrush current limiter including first and second input nodes for receiving an input voltage from a power source, a first output node and a second output node for being connected with a load, an inrush-current-limiting portion including a transistor connected between the first input node and the first output node, and for turning on the transistor when a voltage level of the input voltage is higher than a first level, and for limiting an inrush current by controlling time until the transistor is turned on after application of the input voltage, a switch connected between a control terminal of the transistor and the second input node, and a mode controller for turning on the switch when the voltage level of the input voltage is lower than a second level that is lower than the first level.
