Pin Description

Pin Number

Pin Name

Pin Function

1

Supply: +12V to +36V. Decouple with ≥ 10µF capacitor.

2

Input

TTL Compatible Input: Logic high turns the external MOSFET on. An inter-

nal pull-down returns an open pin to logic low.

3

retry cycle. (Duty cycle adjustment.)

• Open = approx. 20% duty cycle.

• Capacitor to Ground = approx. 20% to < 1% duty cycle.

• Pull-up resistor = approx. 20% to approx. 75% duty cycle.

• Ground = maintained shutdown upon overcurrent condition.

Current Sense Comparator (+) Input: Connect to high side of sense resistor

or current sensing MOSFET sense lead. A built-in offset in conjunction with

Sense –

Current Sense Comparator (–) Input: Connect to the low side of the sense

resistor (usually the high side of the load).

to 15V max. to prevent Gate-to-Source damage. Will sink and source cur-

rent.

8

FET source pin supplies charge to quickly enhance the Gate output during

turn-on.
