Hi team,
The datasheet shows an ABS max of 5.5V, so I'm operating at 5.25V to have a bit of margin, but page 13 describing operation at 5.5V to help overcome the internal RDSON of the control FET. If this part really has an ABS max of 5.5V, this page 13 section in the datasheet doesn't make sense to me. Why would max operation and ABS max be the same? Is there margin to this, or is 5.5V really the ABS max?
page 13:
Ideally we'd like to run at 5.5V, but we don't want to run at abs max
