GATE
GATE is pulled low to V
conditions: in UVLO, when RESET pulls high, in an
undervoltage condition, in an overvoltage condition, dur-
ing the initial timing cycle or a latched circuit breaker fault.
When GATE turns on, a 50µA current source charges the
MOSFET gate and any associated external capacitance.
V
Gate-drain capacitance (C
abrupt application of power can cause a gate-source
voltage sufficient to turn on the MOSFET. A unique circuit
pulls GATE low with practically no usable voltage at V
and eliminates current spikes at insertion. A large external
gate-source capacitor is thus unnecessary for the purpose
of compensating C
capacitor C
for the analog current limit loop.
GATE has two comparators: the GATE low comparator
looks for < 0.5V threshold prior to initial timing; the GATE
high comparator looks for < 2.8V relative to V
together with DRAIN low comparator, starts power good
sequencing during GATE start-up.
SENSE
The SENSE pin is monitored by the circuit breaker (CB)
comparator, the analog current limit (ACL) amplifier, and
the fast current limit (FCL) comparator. Each of these three
measures the potential of SENSE relative to V
