APPLICATIO HI TS
The logic and ground pins function as a differential logic
input with a common-mode range of VCC to VCC – 20V and
a differential threshold voltage (VLOGIC – GND) of 1.5V.
Note that if either Logic In or GND are left open the switch
remains inactive.
Care must be exercised when operating near the
maximumswitchvoltage.Ahighcurrentorcapacitiveload
may trip the current limit circuit at turn-on, thereby
adversely affecting the risetime of VOUT. The risetime is
then governed by the current limit divided by the load
capacitance, while the falltime is a function of the complex
load. In addition, at switch voltages greater than 18V
the switch current must be less than 0.5A or the device
output will not pull up. Check the short circuit current
characteristics for more detailed information.
The LT1089 must be protected against overvoltage at
turn-offwhendrivinginductiveloads.Theinductiveflyback
voltage can easily exceed the maximum operating switch
voltage (VCC – VOUT) of 20V, potentially damaging the
switch. The solution is to clamp the switch voltage to 20V
or less with a zener diode. Remember that the switch can
handle 7.5A and the Zener may be required to handle the
same amount of current.
