9.1.1 Single Device, Standalone Operation

GUID-20230719-SS0I-J4B0-S0VL-BJPLJPPLJCCX-low.svg Figure 9-1 Single Device, Standalone Operation
Note:

The MODE pin is left OPEN to configure for standalone operation.

Other variations:

  1. The IREF pin can be driven from an external reference voltage source.

  2. In a host MCU controlled system, EN/UVLO can be connected to a GPIO pin to control the device. IMON pin voltage can be monitored using an ADC. The host MCU can use a DAC to drive IREF to change the current limit threshold dynamically.

  3. The device can be used as a simple high current load switch without adjustable overcurrent or fast-trip protection by tying the ILIM and IMON pins to GND and leaving the IREF pin open. The inrush current protection, fixed fast-trip and internal fixed overcurrent protection are still active in this condition.
