APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Confi guring the PGIO Pin
Table 6 describes the possible states of the PGIO pin us-
ing the CONTROL register bits D6 and D7. At power-up
the default state is for the PGIO pin to pull low when
the second power good signal is ready. Other uses for
the PGIO pin are to go high impedence when the sec-
ond power good is ready, a general purpose output and a
general purpose input. When the PGIO pin is confi gured
as a general purpose output, the status of bit C6 is sent
out to the pin. When it is confi gured as a general pur-
pose input, if the input voltage at PGIO is higher than
1.25V, both bit A6 in the STATUS register and bit B6 in
the FAULT register are set. If the input voltage at PGIO
subsequently drops below 1.25V, bit A6 is cleared. Bit
B6 can be cleared by resetting the FAULT register as de-
scribed previously.
Design Example
As a design example, consider the 200W application with
C
range is from 43V to 71V with a UV turn-off threshold of
38.5V.
The design fl ow starts with calculating the maximum in-
put current:
where 36V is the minimum input voltage.
The selection of the sense resistor, R
the minimum current limit threshold and maximum input
current:
The inrush current is set to 0.66A using C
The value of R
discussed previously.

The FET is selected to handle the maximum power dissi-
pation during start-up or an input step. The latter usually
results in a larger power due to summation of the inrush
current charging C
step, the total P
where t is the time it takes to charge up C
which gives a P
Now the P
curves of candidate FETs must be lower than 244W
The SOA curves of the IRF1310NS provide for 5A at 50V
(250W) for 10ms, which gives a P
satisfi es the requirement.

Layout Considerations
To achieve accurate current sensing, a Kelvin connection
is recommended. The minimum trace width for 1oz cop-
per foil is 0.02" per amp to make sure the trace stays at a
reasonable temperature. Using 0.03" per amp or wider is
recommended. Note that 1oz copper exhibits a sheet re-
sistance of about 530µΩ/square. Small resistances add
up quickly in high current applications. To improve noise
immunity, put the resistive divider to the UV and OV pins
close to the chip and keep traces to V
