PIN FUNCTIONS
SCL: Serial Bus Clock Input. Data at the SDA pin is shifted
in or out on rising edges of SCL. This is a high impedance
pin that is generally driven by an open-collector output
from a master controller. An external pull-up resistor or
current source is required.
SDAO (QFN Package): Serial Bus Data Output. Open-drain
output for sending data back to the master controller or
acknowledging a write operation. Normally tied to SDAI
to form the SDA line. An external pull-up resistor or cur-
rent source is required. Internally tied to SDAI in SSOP
package.
SDAI: Serial Bus Data Input. A high impedance input for
shifting in address, command or data bits. Normally tied
to SDAO to form the SDA line. Internally tied to SDAO in
SSOP package.
SDA (SSOP Package): Serial Bus Data Input/Output Line.
Formed by internally tying the SDAO and SDAI lines to-
gether. An external pull-up resistor or current source is
required.

the output of the current sense resistor. This pin provides
sense voltage feedback and monitoring for the current
limit, circuit breaker and ADC.
SOURCE: N-Channel MOSFET Source and ADC Input.
Connect this pin to the source of the external N-channel
MOSFET switch for gate drive return. This pin also serves as
the ADC input to monitor output voltage. The pin provides
a return for the gate pulldown circuit.

SS: Soft Start Input. Sets the inrush current slew rate at
start-up. Connect a 68nF capacitor to provide 5mV/ms as
the slew rate for the sense voltage in start-up. This cor-
responds to 1A/ms with a 5mΩ sense resistor. Note that
a large soft-start capacitor and a small TIMER capacitor
may result in a condition where the timer expires before
the inrush current has started. Allow an additional 10nF
of timer capacitance per 1nF of soft-start capacitor to
ensure proper start-up. Use 1nF minimum to ensure an
accurate inrush current.
TIMER: Start-Up Timer Input. Connect a capacitor be-
tween this pin and ground to set a 12.3ms/μF duration
for start-up, after which an overcurrent fault is logged if
the inrush is still current limited. The duration of the off
time is 600ms/μF when overcurrent auto-retry is enabled,
resulting in a 1:50 duty cycle. An internal timer provides
a 100ms start-up time and 5 seconds auto-retry time if
this pin is tied to INTV
timer capacitance per 1nF of soft-start (SS) capacitor to
ensure proper start-up. The minimum value for the TIMER
capacitor is 10nF .
UV: Undervoltage Comparator Input. Connect this pin
to an external resistive divider from V

detected and the GATE turns off. Pulling this pin below
0.4V resets all faults and allows the GATE to turn back on.
