V
DD
Power supply of the control circuits. Also provides a charging current during start up
thanks to a high voltage current source connected to the drain. For this purpose, an
hysteresis comparator monitors the V
DD
voltage and provides two thresholds:
- V
DDon
: Voltage value (typically 14.5 V) at which the device starts switching and turns
off the start up current source.
- V
DDoff
: Voltage value (typically 8 V) at which the device stops switching and turns on
the start up current source.
SOURCE Power MOSFET source and circuit ground reference.
DRAIN
Power MOSFET drain. Also used by the internal high voltage current source during
start up phase for charging the external V
DD
capacitor.
FB
Feedback input. The useful voltage range extends from 0 V to 1 V, and defines the
peak drain MOSFET current. The current limitation, which corresponds to the
maximum drain current, is obtained for a FB pin shorted to the SOURCE pin.
