Features
■ General
– Inrush current active management by
power limitation
– Very low standby current
– 3.0 V CMOS compatible inputs
– Optimized electromagnetic emissions
– Very low electromagnetic susceptibility
– In compliance with the 2002/95/EC
european directive
– Very low current sense leakage
■ Diagnostic functions
– Proportional load current sense
– High current sense precision for wide
currents range
– Current sense disable
– Off-state open load detection
– Output short to VCC detection
– Overload and short to ground (power
limitation) indication
– Thermal shutdown indication
■ Protections
– Undervoltage shutdown
– Overvoltage clamp
– Load current limitation
– Self limiting of fast thermal transients
– Protection against loss of ground and loss
of VCC
– Over temperature shutdown with auto
restart (thermal shutdown)
– Reverse battery protected (see Figure 32)
– Electrostatic discharge protection
