Status Pin
This pin is also a high impedance CMOS gate with ESD
protection and therefore should not be forced beyond the
power supply rails. To defeat the over current protection,
short the drain sense to supply.
The status pin is an open-drain output which is driven low
whenever a fault condition is detected. A 51k pull-up
resistor should be connected between this output and a
logic supply. The status pins of multiple LTC1154s can be
OR’d together if independent fault sensing is not required.
No connection is required to this pin when not in use.
Some loads, such as large supply capacitors, lamps, or
motors require high in-rush currents. An RC time delay
can be added between the sense resistor and the drain
