Step 3: Set maximum Awake time using capacitor at
ONMAX pin
The value of C
ONMAX
can be determined by the equation:
C
ONMAX
= t
ONMAX
• 75 [nF/s]
For example, a t
ONMAX
of 133ms requires a 10nF capacitor.
High Voltage PowerPath™ Switching
The high voltage EN open drain output of the LTC2956-2
is designed to switch on/off an external power P-channel
MOSFET. This allows a user to connect/disconnect a power
supply (or battery) to its load by toggling the PB pin.
Figure 12 shows the LTC2956-2 switching a 24V battery
application. R6 slows down the turning on of M1 so as
to limit the inrush current when needed to charge up the
capacitor at V
OUT
. R5 is optional – it helps to speed up
the turning off of M1 and also to keep M1 off when the
input voltage rise time is fast.
PB Pin in a Noisy Environment
The rugged PB pin is designed to operate in noisy en-
vironments. Transients below ground and above V
IN
will not damage the PB pin. Additionally, the PB pin can
withstand ESD HBM strikes of up to ±25kV. However, if
the pushbutton switch is located physically far from the
