CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
VOLTAGE REFERENCE AND OUTPUT CIRCUITRY
Output Stage Protection
The output stage is protected against overvoltage, short
circuit and thermal runaway conditions (Figure 3).

> 30 V
If the input voltage rises above 30 V (e.g. load dump), the
output shuts down. This response protects the internal
circuitry and enables the IC to survive unexpected voltage
transients.
Should the junction temperature of the power device
exceed 180°C (typ) the load current capability is reduced
thereby preventing thermal overload. This thermal
management function is an effective means to prevent die
overheating since the load current is the principle heat
source in the IC.
REGULATOR CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The CS8101 contains two microprocessor compatible
control functions: ENABLE and RESET (Figure 4).

ENABLE Function
The ENABLE function switches the output transistor ON
and OFF. When the voltage on the ENABLE lead exceeds
1.4 V typ, the output pass transistor turns off, leaving a high
impedance facing the load. The IC will remain in Sleep
mode, drawing only 50 mA, until the voltage on this input
drops below the ENABLE threshold.
RESET Function
A RESET signal (low voltage) is generated as the IC
powers up until V
OUT
is within 250 mV of the regulated
output voltage, or when V
OUT
drops out of regulation, and
is lower than 300 mV below the regulated output voltage. A
hysteresis of 50 mV is included in the function to minimize
oscillations.
