Description

1

V+

Supply. Must be decoupled to isolate from large transients caused by the power

MOSFET drain. 10 µF is recommended close to pins 1 and 4.

2

INPUT

Turns on power MOSFET when taken above (or below) threshold (1.0V typical). Pin 2

requires ~ 1 µA to switch.

3

SOURCE Connects to source lead of power MOSFET and is the return for the gate clamp zener.

Pin 3 can safely swing to –20V when turning off inductive loads.

4

GROUND Ground.

5

GATE

Drives and clamps the gate of the power MOSFET.

6, 7, 8

NC

Not internally connected.
