Test Results
Two LM5069 circuits were tested with different value zener
diodes for Z1. In both tests the pertinent external components
were:
Transient testing was performed by quickly increasing V
from 10V to 20V for 20 milliseconds, and then returning V
to 10V. The scope photo in Figure 4 shows the results:

A) In the first test, a 20V zener diode was used for Z1. The
circuit’s load resistance was 40 ohms, resistive. The result,
shown in Figure 3, is that the GATE pin was clamped at ap-
proximately 20V for V
clamped at between 15.6V and 17V as V
from 16V to 27V. In this test circuit, increasing V
activated the power limiting feature of the LM5069, and Q1
was shut off after the fault timeout period.
