Error Flag

TS39101 versions feature an Error Flag, which looks at the output voltage and signals an error condition when this

voltage drops 5% below its expected value. The error flag is an open-collector output that pulls low under fault

conditions. It may sink 10mA. Low output voltage signifies a number of possible problems, including an over-current

fault (the device is in current limit) or low input voltage. The flag output is inoperative during over temperature

Thermal Resistance

Power SOP-8 Thermal Characteristic

TS39101/2/4 series performance is its power SOP-8 package featuring half the thermal resistance of a standard SOP-

8 package. Lower thermal resistance means more output current or higher input voltage for a standard SOP-8

package. Lower thermal resistance means more output current or higher input voltage for a given package size.

Lower thermal resistance is achieved by connect the four ground pins with the die attached pad to create a single

piece electrical and thermal conductor. This concept have been used by MOSFET production for years, proving very

reliable and cost effective for the user. As above thermal resistance figure. Thermal resistance consists of two main

SOP-8 which is typically 75

significantly reduces the case to sink and sink to ambient thermal resistance.
