The voltage that ADIM voltage multiplies by (1/4.4) becomes IS threshold voltage and it has linear characteristic.
But, ADIM voltage becomes under 0.44V(Typ), IS threshold voltage is clamped at 0.44V/0.44=0.1V(Typ). And
ADIM voltage becomes over 2.2V(Typ), IS threshold voltage is clamped at 2.2V/0.44=0.5V(Typ). When you want
to use linear characteristic range, please set ADIM voltage from 0.5V to 2.1V.
And pulse signal inputs to PWM2DC terminal and IC can average it by IC internal 100kΩ and the capacitor
connected to ADIM terminal (This means pulse to DC signal transfer circuit.). At this time, ADIM ripple level is
changed by ADIM’s capacitance, therefore please set suitable capacitance according to set specification.

(0.01µF to 0.1µF). When SS terminal voltage is higher than 2.0V, COMPSD can be detected. When SS terminal
voltage is less than 2.0V, latch protection circuit will not operate. When SS terminal voltage is higher than 2.5V,

4.0V(Typ),and will start to count 2CLK over voltage detection. After 2CLK count, it will shut down by timer latch.
PIN.15 PWM2DC
Pulse signal inputs to PWM2DC terminal and IC can average it by IC internal 100kΩ and the capacitor connected
to ADIM terminal (This means pulse to DC signal transfer circuit.). When the voltage that is higher than 8V(Typ)
forces to PWM2DC terminal, buffer output in the IC becomes high impedance, and IC function shifts to direct DC
input mode to ADIM. (Refer to the diagram of PIN11 ADIM.)

Operational Notes
3. Ground Voltage
Ensure that no pins are at a voltage below that of the ground pin at any time, even during transient condition.
5. Thermal Consideration
Should by any chance the power dissipation rating be exceeded the rise in temperature of the chip may result in
deterioration of the properties of the chip. In case of exceeding this absolute maximum rating, increase the board size
and copper area to prevent exceeding the Pd rating.
7. Inrush Current
When power is first supplied to the IC, it is possible that the internal logic may be unstable and inrush current may
flow instantaneously due to the internal powering sequence and delays, especially if the IC has more than one power
supply. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance, power wiring, width of ground wiring,
and routing of connections.

Notice
Precaution on using ROHM Products
1. Our Products are designed and manufactured for application in ordinary electronic equipments (such as AV equipment,
OA equipment, telecommunication equipment, home electronic appliances, amusement equipment, etc.). If you
(Note 1)
intend to use our Products in devices requiring extremely high reliability (such as medical equipment , transport
equipment, traffic equipment, aircraft/spacecraft, nuclear power controllers, fuel controllers, car equipment including car
accessories, safety devices, etc.) and whose malfunction or failure may cause loss of human life, bodily injury or
serious damage to property (“Specific Applications”), please consult with the ROHM sales representative in advance.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by ROHM in advance, ROHM shall not be in any way responsible or liable for any
damages, expenses or losses incurred by you or third parties arising from the use of any ROHM’s Products for Specific
Applications.
(Note1) Medical Equipment Classification of the Specific Applications
JAPAN USA EU CHINA
CLASSⅢ CLASSⅡb
CLASSⅢ CLASSⅢ
CLASSⅣ CLASSⅢ
2. ROHM designs and manufactures its Products subject to strict quality control system. However, semiconductor
products can fail or malfunction at a certain rate. Please be sure to implement, at your own responsibilities, adequate
safety measures including but not limited to fail-safe design against the physical injury, damage to any property, which
a failure or malfunction of our Products may cause. The following are examples of safety measures:
[a] Installation of protection circuits or other protective devices to improve system safety
[b] Installation of redundant circuits to reduce the impact of single or multiple circuit failure
3. Our Products are designed and manufactured for use under standard conditions and not under any special or
extraordinary environments or conditions, as exemplified below. Accordingly, ROHM shall not be in any way
responsible or liable for any damages, expenses or losses arising from the use of any ROHM’s Products under any
special or extraordinary environments or conditions. If you intend to use our Products under any special or
extraordinary environments or conditions (as exemplified below), your independent verification and confirmation of
product performance, reliability, etc, prior to use, must be necessary:
[a] Use of our Products in any types of liquid, including water, oils, chemicals, and organic solvents
[b] Use of our Products outdoors or in places where the Products are exposed to direct sunlight or dust
[c] Use of our Products in places where the Products are exposed to sea wind or corrosive gases, including Cl2,
H2S, NH3, SO2, and NO2
[d] Use of our Products in places where the Products are exposed to static electricity or electromagnetic waves
[e] Use of our Products in proximity to heat-producing components, plastic cords, or other flammable items
[f] Sealing or coating our Products with resin or other coating materials
[g] Use of our Products without cleaning residue of flux (even if you use no-clean type fluxes, cleaning residue of
flux is recommended); or Washing our Products by using water or water-soluble cleaning agents for cleaning
residue after soldering
[h] Use of the Products in places subject to dew condensation
5. Please verify and confirm characteristics of the final or mounted products in using the Products.
6. In particular, if a transient load (a large amount of load applied in a short period of time, such as pulse. is applied,
confirmation of performance characteristics after on-board mounting is strongly recommended. Avoid applying power
exceeding normal rated power; exceeding the power rating under steady-state loading condition may negatively affect
product performance and reliability.
7. De-rate Power Dissipation depending on ambient temperature. When used in sealed area, confirm that it is the use in
the range that does not exceed the maximum junction temperature.
8. Confirm that operation temperature is within the specified range described in the product specification.
9. ROHM shall not be in any way responsible or liable for failure induced under deviant condition from what is defined in
this document.

Precautions Regarding Application Examples and External Circuits
1. If change is made to the constant of an external circuit, please allow a sufficient margin considering variations of the
characteristics of the Products and external components, including transient characteristics, as well as static
characteristics.
2. You agree that application notes, reference designs, and associated data and information contained in this document
are presented only as guidance for Products use. Therefore, in case you use such information, you are solely
responsible for it and you must exercise your own independent verification and judgment in the use of such information
contained in this document. ROHM shall not be in any way responsible or liable for any damages, expenses or losses
incurred by you or third parties arising from the use of such information.
2. Even under ROHM recommended storage condition, solderability of products out of recommended storage time period
may be degraded. It is strongly recommended to confirm solderability before using Products of which storage time is
exceeding the recommended storage time period.
3. Store / transport cartons in the correct direction, which is indicated on a carton with a symbol. Otherwise bent leads
may occur due to excessive stress applied when dropping of a carton.
4. Use Products within the specified time after opening a humidity barrier bag. Baking is required before using Products of
which storage time is exceeding the recommended storage time period.
