The LM749x0-Q1 supports low IQ SLEEP mode operation. This mode can be enabled by pulling SLEEP pin low (EN = High). In SLEEP mode, device turns off internal charge pump, SW switch and disables DGATE and HGATE drive thus achieving low current consumption of 6μA typical. However at the same time device power up always on loads connected on OUT pin through an internal low power MOSFET with typical on resistance of 7Ω. In this mode device can support peak load current of 100mA. As load is increased, voltage drop across internal MOSFET increases. Device offers overcurrent protection during sleep mode with typical overcurrent threshold of 250mA. For LM74900-Q1 and LM74910H-Q1, in case of overcurrent event during sleep mode, device protects internal FET by disconnecting the internal MOSFET switch and latching off the device.
For LM74910H-Q1, an overcurrent event in SLEEP mode triggers a transition into normal mode of operation for 64 timer cycles during which the device draws quiescent current I(Q). When the device enters normal mode for 64 timer cycles, the charge pump , DGATE and HGATE are enabled allowing the load current to flow through the external FETs. After the end of 64 timer cycles, the device goes back to SLEEP mode from normal mode. This auto-retry feature allows the LM74910H-Q1 device to startup into SLEEP mode and pass transient load current which are greater than SLEEP overcurrent threshold without latching off the device.
As an additional layer of protection, device also features thermal shutdown with latch off feature in SLEEP mode in case of any overheating of the device in SLEEP mode. To put the device out of the latch mode user has to toggle the SLEEP or EN pin.
In SLEEP mode the LM749x0-Q1 offers protection against input overvoltage events. Device can be configured in either overvoltage cut-off (SLEEP_OV connected to C) or overvoltage clamp mode (SLEEP_OV connected to VOUT) with default overvoltage threshold of 21V typical.
If SLEEP mode feature is not required then SLEEP pin should be tied to EN. When not used SLEEP_OV pin can be left floating.
A higher overvoltage threshold for SLEEP mode can be achieved by adding an external Zener diode between SLEEP_OV pin to OUT/C as shown in Figure 8-11. This feature is useful while configuring overvoltage threshold for 24V or 48V powered systems.
