MP6231/MP6232 –CURRENT-LIMITED POWER DISTRIBUTION SWITCHES
Thermal Protection
The purpose of thermal protection is to prevent
damage in the IC by allowing exceptive current to
flow and heating the junction. The die temp. is
internally monitored until the thermal limit is
reached. Once this temp. is reached, the switch
will turn off and allow the chip to cool. The switch
has a built-in hysteresis.
Under-voltage Lockout (UVLO)
This circuit is used to monitor the input voltage to
ensure that the MP6231/MP6232 is operating
correctly. This UVLO circuit also ensures that
there is no operation until the input voltage
reaches the minimum spec.
Enable
The logic pin disables the chip to reduce the
supply current. The device will operate once the
enable signal reaches the appropriate level. The
input is compatible with both COMS and TTL.
