Q & A
- What is the primary function of the NCP398FCCT1G?
The NCP398FCCT1G is an overvoltage protection IC designed to protect VCONN against overvoltages in USB Type-C applications.
- What is the maximum input voltage the NCP398FCCT1G can handle?
The maximum input voltage is 28 V.
- What is the typical on-chip Rdson value of the NMOS transistors?
The typical on-chip Rdson value is 200 mΩ.
- How does the NCP398FCCT1G handle overvoltage conditions?
During an overvoltage condition, the internal comparator opens the power MOSFET instantaneously to protect the connected system.
- What is the purpose of the EN pin on the NCP398FCCT1G?
The EN pin is used to enable or disable the device. A high level on this pin forces the internal switch off and reduces current consumption.
- What is the thermal shutdown protection feature in the NCP398FCCT1G?
The thermal shutdown protection opens the internal NMOS FET when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C to prevent overheating.
- How does the auto-discharge feature work in the NCP398FCCT1G?
The auto-discharge feature ensures that the output is automatically discharged when the device is disabled or when the input voltage drops below the UVLO threshold.
- What are the typical applications of the NCP398FCCT1G?
The NCP398FCCT1G is typically used in USB Type-C applications, smartphones, and tablets.
- What is the operating ambient temperature range of the NCP398FCCT1G?
The operating ambient temperature range is −40°C to +85°C.
