NCV8702
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Enable Operation

The NCV8702 uses the EN pin to enable/disable its output
and to deactivate/activate the active discharge function.
If the EN pin voltage is <0.4 V the device is guaranteed to
be disabled. The pass transistor is turned−off so that there is
virtually no current flow between the IN and OUT. The
active discharge transistor is active so that the output voltage

If the EN pin voltage >0.9 V the device is guaranteed to
be enabled. The NCV8702 regulates the output voltage and
the active discharge transistor is turned−off.
The EN pin has internal pull−down current source with
typ. value of 110 nA which assures that the device is
turned−off when the EN pin is not connected. A build in

this state until the die temperature decreases below the
Thermal Shutdown Reset threshold (T
− 140°C typical).
SDU
Once the IC temperature falls below the 140°C the LDO is
enabled again. The thermal shutdown feature provides
protection from a catastrophic device failure due to
accidental overheating. This protection is not intended to be
used as a substitute for proper heat sinking.
In the case where the EN function isn’t required the EN
pin should be tied directly to IN.
Power Dissipation
As power dissipated in the NCV8702 increases, it might
become necessary to provide some thermal relief. The
maximum power dissipation supported by the device is
dependent upon board design and layout. Mounting pad
configuration on the PCB, the board material, and the
ambient temperature affect the rate of junction temperature
rise for the part.

becomes disabled when the V falls below typ. 1.5 V. When
