Figure 17. Enhanced Output Pull-Down Circuit
In order to use this feature as designed, a bidirectional
Zener diode is needed for D1. When the LT4256-3 com-
mands the MOSFET off (and a bidirectional Zener is used),
the output discharges very slowly (t
OFF

• V

)/
130µA). Several variations can be implemented to dis-
charge the output faster. The recommeded method is
shown in Figure 17 and uses an external PNP transistor,
diode and resistor to discharge the output quickly.
