PROTECTION FEATURES
During Normal Operation, the INPUT pin is
electrically connected to the gate of the internal
power MOSFET through a low impedance path
as soon as V
The device then behaves like a standard power
MOSFET and can be used as a switch from DC
to 50KHz. The only difference from the user’s
standpoint is that a small DC current (typically
150
supply the internal circuitry.
During turn-off of an unclamped inductive load
the output voltage is clamped to a safe level by
an integrated Zener clamp between DRAIN pin
and the gate of the internal Power MOSFET.
In this condition, the Power MOSFET gate is set

to a voltage high enough to sustain the inductive
load current even if the INPUT pin is driven to 0V.
The device integrates an active current limiter
circuit which limits the drain current I
whatever the INPUT pin Voltage.
When the current limiter is active, the device
operates in the linear region, so power dissipation
may exceed the heatsinking capability. Both case
and junction temperatures increase, and if this
phase lasts long enough, junction temperature
may reach the overtemperature threshold T
