7.3.4.3 External MOSFET for VREG Supply

MCT8329A provides option to drive external MOSFET which can act as regulator and can be used to power internal digital circuitry through VREG pin (see #GUID-D05D9DD7-ADD9-4E22-8ABE-B2EA5473FC5C. In this case VREG must not be connected to AVDD or external 3.3V/5V power supply. This option of connecting external MOSFET can be used to reduce power dissipation in MCT8329A and transfer the power loss to the external MOSFET, for use cases that have thermal challenges.

The VGS(th) of external MOSFET has to be selected to ensure that the VREG voltage is between 2.2V to 5.5V across operating conditions. Refer GUID-E861FFBD-4613-4D1D-AAE8-DC28DC811D1B.htmlfor application example design calculations. The input capacitance of external MOSFET need to be less than 2nF to meet startup time EX_SL_DR_ANA(Analog input) or tEX_SL_DR_PWM (PWM input).

Note: The GCTRL pin is a high impedance node (> 1MΩ) and this pin should not be loaded externally other than the external MOSFET gate and CGCTRL. External loading on GCTRL pin (to GND) reduces the voltage at GCTRL pin and VREG pin.
