PRODUCTION DATA
When DIR dynamically flips its state from 0 to 1, or 1 to 0 during operation, CSS is first discharged to 0.3V by the internal pulldown FET, then the pulldown is released to set off a new soft-start cycle to gradually build up the channel current in the new direction. In this way, the channel current overshoot is eliminated.
For independent channel operation, DIR1 and DIR2 can be independently controlled. For multiphase parallel operation, DIR1 and DIR2 must be tied together, and the user may also consider tying the SS/DEM1 and SS/DEM2 together.
