4.0 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The MCP18480 can be programmed to have the PWR-
GOOD signal be either active-high or active-low via the
ISET pin and the connection of the external RISET resis-
tor (see Section 6.8.8, “Bias Block”). If the RISET resis-
tor is connected between ISET and VNEG, the
PWRGOOD output pin is an active-high signal. If the
RISET resistor is connected between ISET and VREFIN,
the PWRGOOD output pin is an active-low signal.
For systems using an active-low-enabled DC/DC con-
verter module, the MCP18480 should be programmed
for a high-active PWRGOOD output. Tying the RISET
resistor to the VNEG pin configures the PWRGOOD to
be an active-high signal. The active-high PWRGOOD
switches on the external NPN and the collector of the
external NPN (labeled as GOODPWR) is pulled to
VNEG, enabling a low-active GOODPWR and resulting
in enabling the DC/DC module.
MCP18480
For active-high DC/DC converter modules, the
MCP18480 should be programmed for a low active
PWRGOOD output. Connecting RISET to the VREFIN
pin will enable an active-low PWRGOOD output. Refer
to Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 for schematics.
Figure 4-1 shows a typical telecom application circuit
where the DC/DC module is active-high. Figure 4-2
shows a typical telecom application circuit where the
DC/DC module is active-low. The polarity of the
MCP18480’s PWRGOOD pin (active-high or active-
low) is dependant on the state of the ISET pin.
