Control by pin ENN

When VDDHV is constantly switched on the AS1720 can be controlled by pin ENN. The functionality is the same as for controlling the device via

pin VDDHV. This feature is useful when controlling by a microprocessor is desired.

Current Adjust (AS1720A) and Current Limitation (AS1720B)

This block provides the current reference for the output current source. The current is generated by regulating the internal Bandgap voltage to

The temperature coefficient depends on the Bandgap voltage (100ppm/K, box method) and external resistor (in the range of several ppm/K).

The saturation voltage of the output current source for a 100mA current is typical 600mV.
