The following precautions should be followed when testing
DPA-Switch by itself outside of a power supply. The schematic
shown in Figure 32 is suggested for laboratory testing of
DPA-Switch.
When the DRAIN pin supply is turned on, the part will be in the
auto-restart mode. The CONTROL pin voltage will be oscillating
at a low frequency between 4.8 and 5.8 V and the drain is turned
on every eighth cycle of the CONTROL pin oscillation. If the
CONTROL pin power supply is turned on while in this auto-

restart mode, there is only a 12.5% chance that the CONTROL
pin oscillation will be in the correct state (drain active state) so
that the continuous drain voltage waveform may be observed.
It is recommended that the V
and the DRAIN pin power supply second if continuous drain
voltage waveforms are to be observed. The 12.5% chance of
being in the correct state is due to the divide-by-8 counter.
Temporarily shorting the CONTROL pin to the SOURCE pin
will reset DPA-Switch, which then will come up in the correct
state.
