DESCRIPTION

The MP5002 is a protection device designed to

from undesired shorts and transients coming

from the load.

At start up, inrush current is limited by limiting the

small capacitor at the dv/dt pin. The dv/dt pin has

an internal circuit that allows the customer to float

this pin (no connect) and still receive a 1.1ms

limited. This is accomplished by utilizing a sense

FET topology. The magnitude of the current limit

is controlled by an external resistor connected

An internal charge pump drives the gate of the

power device, allowing a very low on-resistance

DMOS power FET of just 44mΩ.

high. Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) assures

that the input is above the minimum operating

threshold, before the power device is turned on.
