HV301/HV311
Application Information, cont’d.
However, if the DC/DC PWM Converter with the ENABLE input
circuit configuration was active HIGH, then the apparent choice
of the HV301 would result in the creation of a current path
through the protective diode clamp of the ENABLE input and the
PWRGD output MOSFET of the HV301. For this situation the
HV311 should be used as shown below in Application Circuit 2.
In some applications the PWRGD signal is used to activate load
circuitry on the isolated output side of the DC/DC PWM Con-
verter. In this situation an optocoupler is needed to provide the
required isolation as shown below in Application Circuit 3.
