Pin Description (Refer to Figures 1 and 2)
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function
1 Input Resets current sense latch and turns on power MOSFET when taken above
threshold (3.5V typical). Pin 1 requires <1µA to switch.
2 Threshold Sets current sense trip voltage according to:

where R
TH
to ground is 3.3k to 20kΩ. Adding capacitor C

increases the
trip voltage at turn-on to 2V. Use C

. Pin 3 is used in conjunction with a current shunt in the source of
a 3 lead FET or a resistor R

in the sense lead of a current sensing FET.
4 Source Reference for the current sense voltage on pin 3 and return for the gate
clamp zener. Connect to the load side of current shunt or kelvin lead of cur

rent sensing FET. Pins 3 and 4 can safely swing to –10V when turning off
inductive loads.

proximately –0.7V by an internal diode when turning off inductive loads.
7 V
+
Supply pin; must be decoupled to isolate from large transients caused by
the power FET drain. 10µF is recommended close to pins 7 and 5.
8 Fault Outputs status of protection circuit when pin 1 is high. Fault low indicates
normal operation; fault high indicates current sense tripped.
