Features
■ General
– Inrush current active management by
power limitation
– Very low standby current
– 3.0V CMOS compatible inputs
– Optimized electromagnetic emissions
– Very low electromagnetic susceptibility
– In compliance with the 2002/95/EC
european directive
■ Diagnostic functions
– Open Drain status output
– On-state open load detection
– Off-state open load detection
– Output short to VCC detection
– Overload and short to ground (power
limitation) indication
– Thermal shutdown indication
■ Protections
– Undervoltage shut-down
– 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 Application
schematic on page 22)
– Electrostatic discharge protection
