SC5010
Applications Information (continued)
external p-channel MOSFET. The external p-channel
MOSFET provides load disconnection during shutdown or
fault mode. It also provides input inrush current limiting
during start-up. During shutdown, the DRVP pin is pulled
up to VIN voltage via an internal 1M resistor. At startup,
the boost converter is held off and the DRVP pin is pulled
low via an internal 20μA (typ) current source. When the
DRVP pin is pulled lower than the threshold voltage of the
external p-channel MOSFET, the input current starts
charging up the output capacitor to the input voltage.
After that, the boost converter enters into soft start
mode.
Fault Protection
SC5010 provides fault detection for low supply voltage,

over-voltage and thermal shutdown. The open drain
output pin (FLT) indicates a system fault. The nature of the
fault can be read from the fault status resistor (register
address: 0x00) via I2C interface. Refer to Table 2 for a
description of the Fault Protection Modes.
Other Possible Configurations
Depending on different application requirement, the
SC5010 can also be easily configured to other topology
such as SEPIC (Single-Ended Primary-Inductor Converter)
configuration as shown in Figure 3.
