PRODUCTION DATA
The gate driver is used to control the external N-Channel MOSFET by setting the appropriate GATE to SRC voltage.
Before the gate driver is enabled, the following three conditions must be achieved:
The controller offers two gate drive variants. LM74502 with typical peak gate drive strength of 60 μA is suitable to achieve smooth start-up with inherent inrush current control due to its lower gate drive strength.
LM74502H with its 11 -mA typical peak gate drive strength is suitable for applications which need faster turn on such as load switch applications.
LM74502, LM74502H SRC pin is capable of handling negative voltage which also makes it suitable for load disconnect switch applications with loads which are inductive in nature.
