The relationship between the OFF time and the external resistor value is shown in Figure 8. OFF time regulation

circuit. The value typically ranges from 10 µs to 150 µs.

Overcurrent and short-circuit protection

The device embeds circuitry protecting each power output against the overload and short circuit conditions (short-

circuit to ground, short-circuit to VS and short-circuit between outputs).

When the overcurrent or short-circuit protection is triggered, the power stage is disabled and the EN\FAULT input

is forced low through the integrated open-drain MOSFET discharging the external CEN capacitor (refer to

Figure 10. Overcurrent and short-circuit protection management).

The power stage is kept disabled and the open-drain MOSFET is kept ON until the EN\FAULT input falls below

the VRELEASE threshold, then the CEN capacitor is charged through the external REN resistor.
