PIN FUNCTIONS

Pin #

Name

Description

1-5

SOURCE

This pin is the source of the internal power FET and the output terminal of the IC.

6

N/C

DO NOT CONNECT, The pin must be float.

7

I-Limit

A resistor between this pin and the Source pin sets the overload and short circuit

current limit levels.

8

Enable/Fault

The Enable/Fault pin is a tri-state, bi-directional interface. It can be used to enable the

output of the device by floating the pin, or disable the chip by pulling it to ground

(using an open drain or open collector device). If a thermal fault occurs, the voltage

on this pin will go to an intermediate state to signal a monitoring circuit that the device

is in thermal shutdown.

9

dv/dt

The internal dv/dt circuit controls the slew rate of the output voltage at turn on. It has

an internal capacitor that allows it to ramp up over the period of 1.1ms. An external

capacitor can be added to this pin to increase the ramp time. If an additional time

delay is not required, this pin should be left open.

10

GND

Negative Input Voltage to the Device. This is used as the internal reference for the IC.

11

Positive input voltage to the device (Exposed Pad).
