APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

The MCP18480 can be programmed to have the

PWRGOOD signal be either active-high or active-low

via the ISET pin and the connection of the external

RISET resistor (see Section 6.8.8, “Bias Block”). If the

RISET resistor is connected between ISET and VNEG, the

PWRGOOD output pin is an active-high signal. If the

RISET resistor is connected between ISET and VREFIN,

the PWRGOOD output pin is an active-low signal.

For systems using an active-low-enabled DC/DC con-

verter module, the MCP18480 should be programmed

for a high-active PWRGOOD output. Tying the RISET

resistor to the VNEG pin configures the PWRGOOD to

be an active-high signal. The active-high PWRGOOD

switches on the external NPN and the collector of the

external NPN (labeled as GOODPWR) is pulled to

VNEG, enabling a low-active GOODPWR and resulting

in enabling the DC/DC module.

For

active-high

DC/DC

converter

modules,

the

MCP18480 should be programmed for a low active

PWRGOOD output. Connecting RISET to the VREFIN

pin will enable an active-low PWRGOOD output. Refer

to Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 for schematics.

Figure 4-1 shows a typical telecom application circuit

where the DC/DC module is active-high. Figure 4-2

shows a typical telecom application circuit where the

DC/DC module is active-low. The polarity of the

MCP18480’s PWRGOOD pin (active-high or active-

low) is dependant on the state of the ISET pin.
