FAST TURN ON
Fast turn-on is guaranteed by an optimized architecture al-
lowing a fast ramp of the output voltage to reach the target
voltage while the inrush current is controlled low at 120mA

SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The LP5952 is short circuit protected and in the event of a
peak over-current condition, the output current through the
NFET pass device will be limited.
If the over-current condition exists for a longer time, the av-
erage power dissipation will increase depending on the input
to output voltage difference until the thermal shutdown cir-
cuitry will turn off the NFET.
Please refer to the section on thermal information for power
dissipation calculations.
THERMAL-OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Thermal-Overload Protection limits the total power dissipation
in the LP5952. When the junction temperature exceeds T
165°C typ., the shutdown logic is triggered and the NFET is
turned off, allowing the device to cool down. After the junction
temperature dropped by 20°C (temperature hysteresis) typi-
cal, the NFET is activated again. This results in a pulsed
output voltage during continuous thermal-overload condi-
tions.

The Thermal-Overload Protection is designed to protect the
LP5952 in the event of a fault condition. For normal, continu-
ous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction

REVERSE CURRENT PATH
The internal NFET pass device in LP5952 has an inherent
parasitic body diode. During normal operation, the input volt-
age is higher than the output voltage and the parasitic diode
is reverse biased. However, if the output is pulled above the
input in an application, then current flows from the output to
the input as the parasitic diode gets forward biased. The out-
put can be pulled above the input as long as the current in the
parasitic diode is limited to 50mA. For currents above this limit
an external Schottky diode must be connected from V
