PRODUCTION DATA
An extended overvoltage protection support above 65 V can be achieved by configuring the device with external back to back MOSFETs in common source topology as shown in Figure 9-6. Place a resistor R1 and a zener clamp across VS pin to GND to limit the voltage below 65 V. The load gets protected from overvoltages transients like un-suppressed load dumps with the help of overvoltage protection feature. Use R2 and R3 for setting the overvoltage protection threshold. When voltage at OV pin exceeds the set OV threshold then the HGATE turns OFF. This results in power path disconnection between input and output.
