MP5000A Datasheet | Monolithic Power Systems

The Future of Analog IC Technology 12V, 5A Programmable Current Limit Switch DESCRIPTION The MP5000A is a protection device designed to protect circuitry on the output (source) from transients on input (VCC). It also protects VCC from undesired shorts and transients ing from the source. At start up, inrush current is limited by limiting the slew rate at the source. The slew rate is controlled by a 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 0.9ms ramp time at the source. The maximum load at the output (source) is current limited. This is acplished by utilizing a sense FET...
