Is there a problem with connecting a large capacitance capacitor (C_L, USB standard 120uF or more) to the output of high-side and low-side switch ICs?
- There should be no problems even if a large capacitance capacitor (USB standard, 120uF or more) is connected to the output. However, when the IC turns ON and the output rises the capacitor C_L is charged, causing inrush current to flow. Depending on the value of C_L, the inrush current is restricted to the current limit value and the IC enters an overcurrent detection state. If the high-side switch IC continues in this state for more than the /OC pin (flag) output delay time, 'L' is output from the /OC pin.
