In application which don’t use the overload protection or if one channel is not used, the
Timer pin of this channel must be connected to ground and the drain pin with a resistor to

currents are equal and the half of the specified current I
equal external resistors (RD = RS) at drain and source pin are imperative. The drain sense
comparator, which detects the overload, has a symmetrical hysteresis of 20 mV (see
Figure
Exceeding the source pin voltage by 10 mV with respect to the drain voltage forces the timer
capacitor to discharge. Decreasing the source pin voltage 10 mV lower than the drain pin
voltage an overload of the external MOS is detected and the timer capacitor will be loaded.
After reaching a voltage at pin CT higher than the timer threshold V
channel is switched off. In this case the overload is stored in the timer capacitor.
The timer capacitor will be discharged with a ’High’ signal at the input (see
reaching the lower timer threshold V
