elecTrical characTerisTics
Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All currents into the device pins are positive; all currents out of
device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless
otherwise specified.
Note 3:
The GATE pin is internally limited to a minimum of 11.5V. Driving
this pin to voltages beyond the clamp may damage the part.

pin FuncTions
GN/UF Packages
V
CC
(Pin 1/Pin 22):
Positive Supply Input. The operating
supply input range is 2.9V to 5.5V. An undervoltage lockout
circuit resets the part when the supply is below 2.5V. V
CC
should be bypassed to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
SENSEP (Pin 2/Pin 23):
Circuit Breaker Positive Sense
Input. SENSEP and SENSEN measure the voltage across
the sense resistor and trigger the circuit breaker function
when the current exceeds the level programmed by the
sense resistor for longer than a short-circuit timer cycle
(see SCTMR). If unused, tie SENSEN and SENSEP to V
CC
.
SENSEN (Pin 3/Pin 24):
Circuit Breaker Negative Sense
Input. SENSEN connects to the low side of the current
sense resistor. SENSEP and SENSEN monitor the current
through the external FET by measuring the voltage across
the sense resistor. The circuit breaker turns off the FET when
the sense voltage exceeds 50mV for longer than a short
circuit timer cycle (see SCTMR). If the short-circuit timer
times out, the GATE pin will be pulled low immediately to
protect the FET. If unused, tie SENSEN and SENSEP to V
CC
.
ON (Pin 4/Pin 1):
On Control Input. The ON pin has a threshold
of 1.23V with 75mV of hysteresis. An active high will cause
10µA to flow from the GATE pin, ramping up the supplies.
An active low pulls 10µA from the GATE pin, ramping the
supplies down. Pulling the ON pin below 0.4V resets the
electronic circuit breaker in the LTC2925. If a resistive
divider connected to V
CC
drives the ON pin, the supplies will
automatically start up when V
CC
is fully powered.
SDTMR (Pin 5/Pin 2):
Shutdown Timer. A capacitor from
SDTMR to GND sets the delay time between the ON pin
transitioning high (which releases the
SDx
pins) and the sup-
plies beginning to ramp-up. Float SDTMR when it is unused.
SD1, SD2, SD3
(Pins 6, 7, 8/Pins 3, 4, 5):
Outputs for
Slave Supply Shutdowns. The
SDx
pins are open-drain
outputs that hold the shutdown (RUN/SS) pins of the slave
supplies low until the ON pin is pulled above 1.23V. The
SDx
pins will be pulled low again when RAMP <100mV
and ON <1.23V. If a slave supply is capable of operating
with an input supply that is lower than the LTC2925’s
minimum operating voltage of 2.9V, the
SDx
pins can be
used to hold off the slave supplies. Each
SDx
pin is capable
of sinking greater than 1mA with supplies as low as 2.3V.
