PRODUCTION DATA.
The DLPA4000 operates over a range of 16 V to 20 V input voltage supply or battery. The power supply design may require additional bulk capacitance. Additional bulk capacitance helps avoid insufficient supply current due to line drop, ringing due to trace inductance at the VIN terminals, or supply peak current limitations, When the interaction of the ceramic input capacitors causes ringing, an electrolytic or tantalum type capacitor may be needed for damping.
Evaluate the bulk capacitance required so that the input voltage remains within the specified range long enough for a proper fast shutdown to occur for the VOFFSET, VRESET, and VBIAS supplies. The shutdown period begins when the input voltage goes below the programmable UVLO threshold. Shutdown occurs when the external power suddenly discontinues.
