CT: A capacitor is connected to this pin in order to set the
maximum fault time. The maximum fault time must be
more than the time to charge external load capacitance.

is the current into the power limit pin. Once the

IMAX: This pin programs the maximum allowable sour-
cing current. Since VDD is a regulated voltage, a voltage
divider can be derived from VDD to generate the program level for the IMAX pin. The current level at which
the output appears as a current source is equal to the
voltage on the IMAX pin over the current sense resistor.
If desired, a controlled current startup can be programmed with a capacitor on the imax pin, and a programmed start delay can be achieved by driving the
shutdown with an open collector/drain device into an RC
network.
OUT: Output drive to the MOSFET pass element.
PL: This feature ensures that the average MOSFET
power dissipation is controlled. A resistor is connected
from this pin to the drain of the NMOS pass element.
When the voltage across the NMOS exceeds 5V, current
will flow into the PL pin which adds to the fault timer
charge current, reducing the duty cycle from the 3%
level. When I

>>36µA then the average MOSFET
power dissipation is given by:

SENSE: Input voltage from the current sense resistor.
When there is greater than 50mV across this pin with respect to VSS, then a fault is sensed, and CT starts to
charge.
SD/FLT: This pin provides fault output indication and
shutdown control. Interface into and out of this pin is usually performed through level shift transistors. When 20µA
is sourced into this pin, shutdown drives high causing the
output to disable the NMOS pass device. When opened,
and under a non-fault condition, the SD/FLT pin will pull
to a low state. When a fault is detected by the fault timer,
or undervoltage lockout, this pin will drive to a high state,
indicating the output FET is off.
VDD: Current driven with a resistor to a voltage at least
10V more positive than VSS. Typically a resistor is connected to ground. The 10V shunt regulator clamps VDD
at 10V above the VSS pin, and is also used as an output
reference to program the maximum allowable sourcing
current.
VSS: Ground reference for the IC and the most negative
voltage available.
