GATE Pin Voltage
The minimum gate drive voltage is 4.5V, therefore, logic
level N-channel MOSFETs should be used for the external
switches to maintain adequate gate enhancement. The
GATE pins are clamped at a typical value of 5.5V above
the respective OUT pins.

Force ON Operation
When the FON pin is pulled high and EN is low, the
LTC4242 operates in the diagnostic mode. All the input
supplies’ power switches are forced to turn on, regardless
of undervoltage conditions on the input supplies, status of
the ON pins and the fault latch. The contents in the fault
latch would be preserved during this time and no change
of state would occur after the part is confi gured to operate
in the diagnostic mode. If the output current exceeds the
ECB threshold, FAULT/AUXFAULT is pulled low immedi-
ately, but does not latch. The undervoltage lockout on V
turns off all the switches, regardless of the status of FON.
During thermal shutdown, the internal switch is shut off to
prevent overheating, even if FON is high. The main power
switches remain on as FON is high. Care must be taken to
ensure the outputs are not short circuited since there is
no current limit mechanism in diagnostic mode.
