LT1640AL/LT1640AH
Under some conditions, a short circuit at the output can
cause the input supply to dip below the UV threshold,
resetting the circuit breaker immediately.
The LT1640A then cycles on and off repeatedly until the
short is removed. This can be minimized by adding a
deglitching delay to the UV pin with a capacitor from UV to
V
EE
. This capacitor forms an RC time constant with the
resistors at UV, allowing the input supply to recover before
the UV pin resets the circuit breaker.
A circuit that automatically resets the circuit breaker after
a current fault is shown in Figure 9.
Transistors Q2 and Q3 along with R7, R8, C4 and D1 form
a programmable one-shot circuit. Before a short occurs,
the GATE pin is pulled high and Q3 is turned on, pulling
node 2 to V
EE
. Resistor R8 turns off Q2. When a short
occurs, the GATE pin is pulled low and Q3 turns off. Node
2 starts to charge C4 and Q2 turns on, pulling the UV pin
low and resetting the circuit breaker. As soon as C4 is fully
charged, R8 turns off Q2, UV goes high and the GATE
starts to ramp up. Q3 turns back on and quickly pulls node
2 back to V
EE
. Diode D1 clamps node 3 one diode drop
below V
EE
. The duty cycle is set to 10% to prevent Q1 from
overheating.

Undervoltage and Overvoltage Detection
The UV (Pin 3) and OV (Pin 2) pins can be used to detect
undervoltage and overvoltage conditions at the power
supply input. The UV and OV pins are internally connected
to analog comparators with 20mV of hysteresis. When the
UV pin falls below its threshold or the OV pin rises above
its threshold, the GATE pin is immediately pulled low. The
GATE pin will be held low until UV is high and OV is low.
The undervoltage and overvoltage trip voltages can be
programmed using a three resistor divider as shown in
Figure 10a. With R4 = 562k, R5 = 9.09k and R6 = 10k, the
undervoltage threshold is set to 37V and the overvoltage
threshold is set to 71V. The resistor divider will also
amplify the 20mV hysteresis at the UV pin and OV pin to
0.6V and 1.2V at the input, respectively.
More hysteresis can be added to the UV threshold by
connecting resistor R3 between the UV pin and the GATE
pin as shown in Figure 10b.

PWRGD/PWRGD Output
The PWRGD/PWRGD output can be used to directly en-
able a power module when the input voltage to the module
is within tolerance. The LT1640AL has a PWRGD output
for modules with an active low enable input, and the
LT1640AH has a PWRGD output for modules with an
active high enable input.
When the DRAIN voltage of the LT1640AH is high with
respect to V
EE
(Figure 11), the internal transistor Q3 is
turned off and R7 and Q2 clamp the PWRGD pin one diode
drop (0.7V) above the DRAIN pin. Transistor Q2 sinks
the module’s pull-up current and the module turns off.
When the DRAIN voltage drops below V
PG
, Q3 will turn on,
shorting the bottom of R7 to DRAIN and turning Q2 off.
The pull-up current in the module then flows through R7,
pulling the PWRGD pin high and enabling the module.
