Features

■ General

– Inrush current active management by

power limitation

– Very low standby current

– 3.0V CMOS compatible inputs

– Optimized electromagnetic emissions

– Very low electromagnetic susceptibility

– In compliance with the 2002/95/EC

european directive

■ Diagnostic functions

– Open Drain status output

– On-state open load detection

– Off-state open load detection

– Output short to VCC detection

– Overload and short to ground (power

limitation) indication

– Thermal shutdown indication

■ Protections

– Undervoltage shut-down

– Overvoltage clamp

– Load current limitation

– Self limiting of fast thermal transients

– Protection against loss of ground and loss

of VCC

– Over temperature shutdown with auto

restart (thermal shutdown)

– Reverse battery protected (see Application

schematic on page 22)

– Electrostatic discharge protection
