GreenFET3 Over-current Protection If current-limit condition is not triggered, IPS operates in normal mode. Thermal protection is not activated.
GreenFET3 Over-current Protection If current-limit condition is triggered, then thermal protection is activated.
GreenFET3 Short-circuit Protection For short circuit on the VOUT pin – thermal protection is not triggered, output voltage VOUT = 0V and MOSFET is saved from damage.
GreenFET3 VOUT Ramp Rate Conditions: CSLEW = 4 nF; VDD = 5 V; VD = 5 V
