MP62160/MP62161 –CURRENT-LIMITED POWER DISTRIBUTION SWITCH
Thermal Protection
The purpose of thermal protection is to prevent
damage in the IC by allowing exceptive current to
flow and heating the junction. The die
temperature is internally monitored until the
thermal limit is reached. Once this temperature is
reached, the switch will turn off and allow the
chip to cool. The switch has a built-in hysteresis.
Under-voltage Lockout (UVLO)
This circuit is used to monitor the input voltage to
ensure that the MP62160/MP62161 is operating
correctly.
This UVLO circuit also ensures that is no
operation until the input voltage reaches the
minimum spec.
Enable
The logic pin disables the switch to reduce
overall supply current .Once the EN pin reaches
logic enable threshold, the MP62160/MP62161 is
enabled.
Output Discharge
The part involves a discharge function that
provides a resistive discharge path for the
external output capacitor. The function will be
active when the part is disabled (Input voltage is
under UVLO or enable is deasserted) and it will
be done in a very limited time.
