Name

Function

Power supply of the control circuits. Also provides a charging current during start up thanks to a high

voltage current source connected to the drain. For this purpose, an hysteresis comparator monitors the

current source.

source.

SOURCE

Power MOSFET source and circuit ground reference.

DRAIN

Power MOSFET drain. Also used by the internal high voltage current source during start up phase for

FB

Feedback input. The useful voltage range extends from 0V to 1V, and defines the peak drain MOSFET

current. The current limitation, which corresponds to the maximum drain current, is obtained for a FB pin

shorted to the SOURCE pin.
