SNOSDE0A February 2022 – May 2022 LM74502-Q1 , LM74502H-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The gate driver is used to control the external N-Channel MOSFET by setting the appropriate GATE to SRC voltage.
Before the gate driver is enabled following three conditions must be achieved:
The controller offers two gate drive variants. LM74502-Q1 with typical peak gate drive strength of 60 μA is suitable to achieve smooth start-up with inherent inrush current control due to its lower gate drive strength.
LM74502H-Q1 with its 11-mA typical peak gate drive strength is suitable for applications which need faster turn-on such as load switch applications.
LM74502-Q1, LM74502H-Q1 SRC pin is capable of handling negative voltage which also makes it suitable for load disconnect switch applications with loads which are inductive in nature.
