USER NOTES
Input Voltage
The recommended operating maximum DC Input Voltage is 35V inclusive of ripple voltage.
Inhibit function
The inhibit feature allows to put in stand-by mode the device.
With INH pin 4 higher than 2.2V the device is disabled and the power consumption is reduced to less than
150µA for Vi = 35V.
With INH pin lower than 0.8V, the device is enabled.
If the INH pin is left floating, an internal pull up ensures that the voltage at the pin reaches the inhibit threshold
and the device is disabled.
The pin is also V
Current protection
The device has two current limit protections, pulse by pulse and frequency fold back.
The current is sensed through a resistor and if reaches the threshold, the on time is reduced and consequently
the output voltage too.
Since the minimum switch ON time (necessary to avoid false overcurrent signal) is not enough to obtain a suf-
ficiently low duty cycle at 250 Hz, the output current, in strong ov ercurrent or short ci rcuit c ondit ions, c ould increase again.
For this reason the switching frequency is also reduced, so keeping the induct or current under its maximum
threshold.
The frequency depends on the feedback voltage.
As the feedback voltage decreases (due to the reduced duty cycle), the switching frequency decrease too.
com patible.

Thermal shutdown
The shutdown block generates a signal that turns off the power stage if the temperature of the internal chip goes
higher than a fixed internal threshold (150
ºC).
The sensing element of the chip is very close to the PDMOS area, so ensuring an accurate and fast temperature
detection.
An hysteresis of approximately 20
ºC avoids that the devices turns on and off continuously.

Loop compensation (GS-R24H(S)0001.5 only)
If required by particular load conditions, it is possible to change the feedback loop compensation, adding an external capacitor between pin 6 (FB) and pin 5 (V
ADDITIONAL FEATURES AND PROTECTIONS
Feedback disconnection
In case of feedback disconnection, the duty cycle increases versus the maximum allowed value, bringing the
output voltage close to the input supply.
THis condition could destroy the load.
To avoid this dangerous condition, the device is turned off if the internal feedback pin remains floating.
Output overvoltage protection
The overvoltage protection, OVP, is realized by using an i nternal comparator, whic h i nput is connec ted t o the
feedback, that turns off the power stage when the OVP threshold is reached.
This threshold is typically 30% higher than the feedback voltage.
