7.3.17 Sourcing Driver Return (OUTH_REF)

The return for the sourcing driver (OUTH) stage of the driver is pinned out to OUTH_REF so that a 220nF external capacitor can be connected during certain operating conditions. The voltage at OUTH_REF is nominally 6V less than that at PVIN. Allowing for an external capacitor connection between this pin and PVIN not only improves the transient performance of the driver, but also provides mitigation against radiation induced single-event transients (SETs). Note that the OUTH_REF capacitor is only needed when the external voltage applied at PVIN is greater than or equal to 6V. When PVIN is less than 6V, OUTH_REF can be directly connected to PGND.

Table 7-5 OUTH_REF Connections
DRIVER INPUT VOLTAGE CONFIGURATION
PVIN < 6V Connect OUTH_REF to PGND
PVIN ≥ 6V Connect a 220nF capacitor between OUTH_REF and PVIN
