LM5069: use as a power switch with overload protection

Part Number: LM5069

Hello Team.

I am considering using LM5069-2 as an electronic switch with short circuit protection.

The voltage to be switched ON/OFF is 24VDC (16...32VDC)

The maximum current absorbed by the load is approximately 20A.

The load consists of an inverter for a three-phase asynchronous motor (2200uF bus electrolytic + three-phase MOSFET bridge).

The motor will be started with a certain delay (>500msec) from the OFF-ON switching of the supply voltage.

The electrolytic will be pre-charged with max 1A from a separate and dedicated circuit before  switching LM5069-2 ON; pre-charge will start  some100msec in advance with reference to OFF-ON switching of the supply voltage.

I will implement the short-circuit protection by mounting a 2mOhm on Rs (threshold current: 24..30A) and a 0.47uF on Ct (22msec of exceeding the threshold current is required to pass to the hiccup phase).

I will switch LM5069-2 ON-OFF by setting UVLO input above/below 2.5V thereshold by a logic gate.

Output PGD will be connected to microprocessor to have some diagnostic feature.

Worst case of use cycle will be more or less as follow: 24V OFF-ON, then inverter starts and runs for 5..10minutes, then inverter stops, then 24V ON-OFF, then 5..10minutes idle, then cycle restart.

The question is: I'm doing everything well? Or I'm missing something important?

Thanks

Bye
