ZHCSG87E February 2017 – August 2019 TPS61178
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS61178 device provides a DISDRV pin to drive the external FET at the output side, which completely disconnects the output from the input end during shutdown or output short happens. During the device’s start-up phase, the disconnect FET is controlled by the gate driver voltage of the external disconnect FET, there is an internal 55 µA (typical) sink current. The load disconnect FET connection is shown as Figure 17
The driver voltage and turn on / off timing can be set via the resistor and capacitor connecting between with the DISDRV pin and the source of the external FET. See the Application and Implementation section for the details of how to select the gate resistor and capacitor
