subsequent DC/DC converter modules or for other system
uses as desired. When used as an enable signal, the time
necessary for the PWRGD (or /PWRGD) signal to pull-up
(when in high impedance state) will depend upon the load
(RC) that is present on this output.
Circuit Breaker Function
The MIC2588 and the MIC2594 employ an electronic circuit
breaker that protects the MOSFET and other system compo-
nents against faults such as short circuits. The current limit

the Electrical Characteristics Table.
An internal 400µs timer limits the length of time (t
which the circuit can draw current in excess of its programmed
threshold before the circuit breaker is tripped. This short
delay prevents nuisance tripping of the circuit breaker due
to system transients while providing rapid protection against
large-scale transient faults. Whenever the voltage across

Undervoltage/Overvoltage Detection—MIC2588
The MIC2588 has “UV” and “OV” input pins. These pins can be
used to detect input supply rail undervoltage and overvoltage
conditions. Undervoltage lockout prevents energizing the load
until the supply input is stable and within tolerance. In a similar
fashion, overvoltage turn-off prevents damage to sensitive
circuit components should the input voltage exceed normal
operational limits. Each of these pins is internally connected
to an analog comparator with 20mV of hysteresis. When the
UV pin falls below its V

The GATE pin will be held low until UV exceeds its V
threshold or OV drops below its V
and OV circuits’ threshold trip points are programmed using
the resistor divider R1, R2, and R3 as shown in the “Typical
Application.” The equations to set the trip points are shown
below. For the following example, the circuit’s nominal UV

is that which will provide a minimum of 100µA of current
through the voltage divider chain at V
the following as a starting point:
The closest standard 1% value for R3 = 12.4kΩ. Using Equa-
tions 3 and 4 above, solving for R2 and R1 yields:
The closest standard 1% value for R2 = 11.8kΩ. Next, the
value for R1 is calculated:
The closest standard 1% value for R1 = 698kΩ.
Using standard 1% resistor values, the circuit’s nominal
UV and OV thresholds are:
Good general engineering design practices must consider
the tolerances associated with these parameters, including
but not limited to, power supply tolerance, undervoltgae
and overvoltage tolerances, and the tolerances of the
external passive components.
Programmable UVLO Hysteresis—MIC2594
The MIC2594 has user-programmable hysteresis by means
of the ON and OFF pins. This allows setting the part to turn
on at a voltage V1, and not turn off until a second voltage
V2, where V2 < V1. This can significantly simplify dealing
with source impedances in the supply bus while at the same
time increasing the amount of available operating time from
a loosely regulated power supply (for example, a battery
supply). Similarly to the MIC2588, each of these pins is
internally connected to an analog comparator with 20mV of
hysteresis. The MIC2594 holds the output off until the voltage
at the ON pin exceeds its V
“Electrical Characteristics” table. Once the output has been
enabled by the ON pin, it will remain on until the voltage at
