The device is specified for inverse load current
operation (V
OUT
> V
bb
> 0V). The current sense feature
is not available during this kind of operation (I
IS
= 0).
With I
IN
= 0 (e.g. input open) only the intrinsic drain
source diode is conducting resulting in considerably
increased power dissipation. If the device is switched
on (V
IN
= 0), this power dissipation is decreased to the
much lower value R
ON(INV)
* I
2
(specifications see page
4).
Note: Temperature protection during inverse load
current operation is not possible!

Externally adjustable current limit
If the device is conducting, the sense current can be
used to reduce the short circuit current and allow
higher lead inductance (see diagram above). The
device will be turned off, if the threshold voltage of T2
is reached by I

. After a delay time defined by

the short circuit current is defined by I

and the
device is shut down after t
