PRODUCTION DATA
The series pass MOSFET (Q1) is enabled when the input supply voltage (VSYS) is within the operating range defined by the programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and overvoltage lock-out (OVLO) levels. Typically the UVLO level at VSYS is set with a resistor divider (R1-R3) as shown in Figure 9-1. When VSYS is less than the UVLO level, the internal 22 µA current sink at UVLO/EN is enabled, the current source at OVLO is off, and Q1 is held off by the 2.2 mA pull-down current at the GATE pin. VSYS reaches its UVLO level when the voltage at the UVLO/EN pin reaches 2.5V above VEE. Upon reaching the UVLO level, the 22 µA current sink at the UVLO/EN pin is switched off, increasing the voltage at the pin, providing hysteresis for this threshold. With the UVLO/EN pin above 2.5V, Q1 is switched on by the 52 µA current source at the GATE pin.
See Application Information for a procedure to calculate the values of the threshold setting resistors (R1-R3). The minimum possible UVLO level can be set by connecting the UVLO/EN pin to VCC. In this case Q1 is enabled when the operating voltage (VCC – VEE) reaches the POREN threshold (8.4V).
