As the SOURCE voltage rises, so will the FB pin which is
monitoring it. If the voltage across the current sense
resistor R
limited by the internal current limit circuitry. Once the FB
pin crosses its 3.5V threshold, the GPIO pin, in its default
configuration, will cease to pull low and indicate that the
power is now good.
Turn-Off Sequence
The switch can be turned off by a variety of conditions. A
normal turn-off is initiated by the ON pin going low or a
serial bus turn-off command. Additionally, several fault
conditions will turn off the switch. These include an input
overvoltage (OV pin), input undervoltage (UV pin), over-
current circuit breaker (SENSE pin) or BD_PRST going
high. Writing a logic one into the UV, OV or overcurrent
fault bits will also turn off the switch if their autoretry bits
are set to false.
Normally the switch is turned off with a 1mA current
pulling down the GATE pin to ground. With the switch
turned off, the SOURCE voltage drops and when the FB pin
crosses below its threshold, GPIO pulls low to indicate
that the output power is no longer good.

Overcurrent Fault
The LTC4260 features an adjustable current limit with
foldback that protects against short circuits or excessive
load current. To protect against excessive power dissipa-
tion in the switch during active current limit, the available
current is reduced as a function of the output voltage
sensed by the FB pin. The device also features a variable
overcurrent response time. A graph in the Typical Perfor-
mance curves shows the delay from a voltage step at the
SENSE pin until the GATE voltage starts falling, as a
function of overdrive.
An overcurrent fault occurs when the current limit circuitry
has been engaged for longer than the time-out delay set by
the TIMER pin. Current limiting begins when the current
sense voltage between the V
20mV to 50mV (depending on the foldback). The GATE pin
is then brought down with a 600mA GATE-to-SOURCE
current. The voltage on the GATE is regulated in order to
limit the current sense voltage to less than 50mV. At this
point, a circuit breaker time delay starts by charging the
external timing capacitor from the TIMER pin with a 100µA
pull-up current. If the TIMER pin reaches its 1.2V thresh-
old, the external switch turns off (with a 1mA current from
GATE to ground). The overcurrent present bit, C2, and the
overcurrent fault bit, D2, are set at this time.
The circuit breaker time delay is given by:
After the switch is turned off, the TIMER pin begins
discharging the timing capacitor with a 2µA pull-down
current. When the TIMER pin reaches its 0.2V threshold,
the overcurrent present bit, C2, is cleared, and the switch
will be allowed to turn on again if the overcurrent fault has
been cleared. However, if the overcurrent autoretry bit,
A2, has been set then the switch turns on again automati-
cally (without resetting the overcurrent fault). Use a mini-
mum value of 0.1nF for C
The waveform in Figure 3 shows how the output latches off
following a short circuit. The drop across the sense
resistor is held at 20mV as the timer ramps up.
