PRODUCTION DATA
The MCT8329A device provides option to drive external MOSFET (using GCTRL pin) which can act as regulator to power internal digital circuitry through VREG pin, as explained in GUID-D05D9DD7-ADD9-4E22-8ABE-B2EA5473FC5C.html. Select the external MOSFET to make sure that the VREG pin voltage is between 2.2 V to 5.5 V across operating conditions. As an example calculation, use Equation 24 for the MOSFET selection to get a minimum VREG pin voltage of 2.4 V at a minimum GCTRL pin voltage of 4.9V (VGCTRL(min) - VVREG(min) = 2.5 V). Use Equation 25 to ensure that the maximum voltage at VREG pin is less than 5.5 V at maximum GCTRL pin voltage.
where,
VGS(th)_max is the maximum gate to source threshold voltage of the external MOSFET across operating condition
VGS(th)_min is the minimum gate to source threshold voltage of the external MOSFET across operating condition
VPVDD is the voltage at the drain of the external MOSFET
CGD is the gate to drain capacitance of the external MOSFET
CGCTRL is the capacitance connected between GCTRL pin and GND
IGATE_LEAK is the maximum gate leakage of the external MOSFET
VGCTRL(max) is the maximum voltage at GCTRL pin
The external MOSFET has to be selected so that the GCTRL pin voltage does not peak more than 0.5V from operating maximum value of GCTRL pin voltage and use Equation 26 for the MOSFET selection.
