Enable function
The enable feature allows to put the device into standby mode. With the EN pin lower than
0.3 V the device is disabled and the power consumption is reduced to less than 30 µA. With
the EN pin lower than 1.2 V, the device is enabled. If the EN pin is left floating, an internal
pull-down ensures that the voltage at the pin reaches the inhibit threshold and the device is
disabled. The pin is also V
Hysteretic thermal shutdown
The thermal shutdown block generates a signal that turns off the power stage if the junction
temperature goes above 150 °C. Once the junction temperature returns to about 130 °C, the
device restarts in normal operation. The sensing element is very close to the PDMOS area,
so ensuring an accurate and fast temperature detection.
