Qualified for Automotive Applications
which provides the gate drive to an external power
MOSFET of any size configured as a high-side driver
or switch. This includes multiple parallel connected
MOSFETs for very high current applications. A
CMOS logic-compatible ON and OFF input controls
the output gate drive voltage. In the ON state, the
charge pump voltage, which is well above the
available VCC supply, is directly applied to the gate of
the MOSFET. A built-in 15-V Zener clamps the
maximum gate to source voltage of the MOSFET.
When commanded OFF a 110-µA current sink
discharges the gate capacitances of the MOSFET for
a gradual turnoff characteristic to minimize the
duration of inductive load transient voltages and
further protect the power MOSFET.

Gradual Turnoff to Minimize Inductive Load
Transient Voltages
Lossless protection of the power MOSFET is a key
feature of the LM9061. The voltage drop (VDS) across
the power device is continually monitored and
compared against an externally programmable
threshold voltage. A small current-sensing resistor in
series with the load, which causes a loss of available
energy, is not required for the protection circuitry. If
the VDS voltage, due to excessive load current,
exceeds the threshold voltage, the output is latched
OFF in a more gradual fashion (through a 10-µA
output current sink) after a programmable delay time
interval.
