Linear Regulator
Description
The internal linear voltage regulator supplies the internal gate drivers with a typical voltage of 5 V and current
up to I_LIM,min (parameter P_8.1.2). An external output capacitor with ESR lower than R_IVCC,ESR (parameter
P_8.1.5) is required on pin IVCC for stability and buffering transient load currents. During normal operation
the external MOSFET switches will draw transient currents from the linear regulator and its output capacitor.
Proper sizing of the output capacitor must be considered to supply sufficient peak current to the gate of the
external MOSFET switches.
Integrated Undervoltage Protection for the External Switching MOSFET
An integrated undervoltage reset threshold circuit monitors the linear regulator output voltage (V_IVCC) and
resets the device in case the output voltage falls below the IVCC undervoltage reset switch OFF threshold
(V_IVCC,RTH,d). The undervoltage reset threshold for the IVCC pin helps to protect the external switches from
excessive power dissipation by ensuring the gate drive voltage is sufficient to enhance the gate of an external
logic level n-channel MOSFET.
