LTC4365CTS8#TRPBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum voltage rating for the VIN pin?
  The maximum voltage rating for the VIN pin is 80V, but it's recommended to keep it below 60V for reliable operation.
• How do I choose the right sense resistor value for my application?
  The sense resistor value depends on the maximum current you expect in your application. A good starting point is to use the formula Rsense = 0.05 / Imax, where Imax is the maximum expected current.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN pin is an active-high enable input that allows you to turn the device on and off. Connect it to a logic high (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) to enable the device, and connect it to a logic low (e.g., GND) to disable it.
• How do I set the overcurrent threshold?
  The overcurrent threshold is set by the voltage on the OCL pin. You can set it by connecting a resistor divider from VIN to GND, with the OCL pin connected to the midpoint of the divider. The threshold voltage is 0.5V to 2.5V, corresponding to 0.5A to 25A overcurrent limits.
• What is the purpose of the FAULT pin, and how do I use it?
  The FAULT pin is an open-drain output that indicates when an overcurrent or overvoltage fault has occurred. You can connect it to a microcontroller or other logic circuit to detect and respond to faults.
