LTC4075HVX
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In this circuit, capacitor C2 holds MN1 off when the cable
is first connected. Eventually C2 begins to charge up to the
USB input voltage applying increasing gate drive to MN1.
The long time constant of R1 and C1 prevent the current
from rapidly building up in the cable thus dampening out
any resonant overshoot.
Reverse Polarity Input Voltage Protection
In some applications, protection from reverse polarity
voltage on the input supply pins is desired. With sufficient
supply voltage, a series blocking diode can be used. In
other cases where the voltage drop must be kept low, a
P-channel MOSFET can be used (as shown in Figure 5).
