Key Featrues
DualSpeed/BiLevel Protection: Provides both fast and slow response times for fault detection, ensuring robust protection against short circuits and overcurrent conditions during normal operation. This enhances system reliability and minimizes downtime.
Inrush Current Regulation: Limits inrush current during start-up, preventing system collapse due to low impedance from discharged capacitors. This ensures safe and stable power-up for hot-swap applications.
Programmable Start-Up Period and Response Time: Allows customization of start-up timing and fault response, enabling flexibility for various system requirements and improving adaptability across different use cases.
Latched Fault Protection: Automatically latches off after detecting a fault condition, preventing repeated attempts to restart and protecting the system from further damage. This enhances safety and reduces maintenance needs.
Internal Charge Pump for N-Channel MOSFET: Generates gate drive for an external N-Channel MOSFET, simplifying circuit design and reducing the need for additional components. This improves efficiency and reduces overall system cost.
Inrush Current Regulation: Limits inrush current during start-up, preventing system collapse due to low impedance from discharged capacitors. This ensures safe and stable power-up for hot-swap applications.
Programmable Start-Up Period and Response Time: Allows customization of start-up timing and fault response, enabling flexibility for various system requirements and improving adaptability across different use cases.
Latched Fault Protection: Automatically latches off after detecting a fault condition, preventing repeated attempts to restart and protecting the system from further damage. This enhances safety and reduces maintenance needs.
