I
MEAS
is the mirror current output. Placing a resistor
between I
MEAS
and ground produces a voltage proportional
to I
BUS
. The maximum voltage producible at IMEAS is the
Kelvin voltage (V
K
) 0.1 V. This sets a limitation on the
maximum value of R

.

EN
Enable is a high true logic input controlling the
SENSEFETs ON/OFF state. A logic high on EN turns the
switch ON; a logic low turns it OFF.
Bus turn-ON time is controlled by the FETs input gate
capacitance and the drive current applied to the gate.
To minimize power consumption EN disables the internal
gate drive current source and current mirroring circuitry
whenever the SENSEFET is OFF.
