ON1 (Pin 1): System/Channel 1 On Input. Both GATE pins
are pulled low by internal 100μA pull-downs and the
FAULT latch is reset when VON1 < 0.4V. When 0.425V <
VON1 < 0.821V, the FAULT latch is released from reset.
When VON1 > 0.851V, GATE1 ramps up after an initial
timing cycle.
VCC1 (Pin 2): Channel 1 Positive Supply Input. It powers
all the internal circuitry. VCC1 can range from 2.7V to 13.5V
for normal operation but it must be ≥VCC2. An undervolt-
age lockout circuit disables both channels whenever the
voltage at VCC1 is less than 2.5V.

SENSE1 (Pin 3): Channel 1 Current Sense Input. A sense
resistor RSENSE1 is placed in the supply path between VCC1
and SENSE1 to sense channel 1 load current. If VRSENSE1
exceeds 100mV for more than 1μs or 25mV for an adjust-
able time (set by the CFILTER), the FAULT latch is set and
fast pull-down circuits are triggered to discharge both
GATEs low. During the start-up cycle, GATE1 ramp-up is
controlled to servo VRSENSE1 ≤ VSENSE(ACL). VSENSE(ACL)
increases from 9mV to 25mV as VFB1 ramps from 0V to
0.5V. To disable the current limit and circuit breaker
function for channel 1, tie SENSE1 to VCC1.
