shutdown using a pulse generator. The pulse generator can be set to switch between 0V
and 5V. The enable and disable characteristics can be determined by obserV
IN
g the
output voltage at V
OUT
and the input current at V
IN
. The pulse generator frequency will be
in the 100s of Hertz range. When the part is disabled, V
OUT
will be discharged to ground
via an internal pull down transistor. The data sheet contains example waveforms showing
the on and off characteristics of V
OUT
. In actual applications, the 2N7002 can be replaced
with an open-drain transistor associated, for example, with a system controller.
