Figure 6. Typical Waveforms for (1) Normal Operation, (2) Auto-restart, (3) Latching Shutdown, and (4) Power Down Reset.

the latch and allows TOPSwitch to
resume normal power supply operation.
VC is regulated in hysteretic mode when
the power supply is latched off.
High-voltage Bias Current Source
This current source biases TOPSwitch
from the DRAIN pin and charges the
CONTROL pin external capacitance
(CT) during start-up or hysteretic
operation. Hysteretic operation occurs
during auto-restart and latched
shutdown. Thecurrentsourceisswitched
onandoffwithaneffectivedutycycleof
approximately 35%. This duty cycle is
determined by the ratio of CONTROL
pin charge (IC) and discharge currents
(ICD1 and ICD2). This current source is
turnedoffduringnormaloperationwhen
the output MOSFET is switching.
To minimize TOPSwitch power
dissipation, the shutdown/auto-restart
circuit turnsthe power supplyonandoff
at a duty cycle of typically 5% if an out
of regulation condition persists. Loss of

changes from shunt mode to the
hysteretic auto-restart mode described
above. When the fault condition is
removed, the power supply output
becomesregulated,VCregulationreturns
to shunt mode, and normal operation of
the power supply resumes.
Overtemperature Protection
Temperature protection is provided by a
precision analog circuit that turns the
output MOSFET off when the junction
temperature exceeds the thermal
shutdowntemperature(typically145°C).

VC is regulated in hysteretic mode when

Latching Shutdown
The output overvoltage protection latch
is activated by a high-current pulse into
the CONTROL pin. When set, the latch
turns off the TOPSwitch output.
