C1N: Negative side of the upper charge pump capacitor.
C1P: Positive side of the upper charge pump capacitor.
C2N: Negative side of the lower charge pump capacitor.
C2P: Positive side of lower charge pump capacitor.
CT: A capacitor is connected to this pin to set the fault
time. The fault time must be more than the time to
charge the external load capacitance (see Application In
-
formation).
FLTOUT
: This pin provides fault output indication. Inter
face to this pin is usually performed through level shift
transistors. Under a non-fault condition, FLTOUT
will pull
to a high state. When a fault is detected by the fault timer
or the under voltage lockout, this pin will drive to a low
state, indicating the output NMOS is in the off state.
LATCH
: Pulling this pin low causes a fault to latch until
this pin is brought high or a power on reset is attempted.
However, pulling this pin high before the reset time is
reached will not clear the fault until the reset time is
reached. Keeping LATCH
high will result in normal oper
ation of the fault timer. Users should note there will be an
RC delay dependent upon the external capacitor at this
pin.
MAXI: This pin programs the maximum allowable sour
cing current. Since VREF/CATFLT
is a regulated volt
age, a voltage divider can be derived to generate the
program level for MAXI. The current level at which the
output appears as a current source is equal to the volt
-
age on MAXI divided by the current sense resistor. If desired, a controlled current start up can be programmed
with a capacitor on MAXI (to VOUT), and a programmed
start delay can be achieved by driving the shutdown with
an open collector/drain device into an RC network.
OUTPUT: Gate drive to the NMOS pass element.
PLIM: This feature ensures that the average external
NMOS power dissipation is controlled. A resistor is con
nected from this pin to the drain of the external NMOS
pass element. When the voltage across the NMOS ex
ceeds 5V, current will flow into PLIM which adds to the
fault timer charge current, reducing the duty cycle from
the 3% level.
SENSE: Input voltage from the current sense resistor.
When there is greater than 50mV across this pin with re
spect to VOUT, a fault is sensed, and CT starts to
charge.
SHTDWN
: This pin provides shutdown control. Interface
to this pin is usually performed through level shift transis
tors. When shutdown is driven low, the output disables
the NMOS pass device.
VDD: Power to the I.C. Is supplied by an external current
limiting resistor on initial power-up or if the load is
shorted. As the load voltages rises (VOUT), a small
amount of power is drawn from VOUT by an internal
charge pump. The charge pump’s input voltage is regu
lated by an on-chip 5V zener. Power to VDD is supplied
