Overcurrent Protection and Undervoltage Protection

Both VDD1 and VDD2 bucks have the overcurrent protection and undervoltage protection, and the implementation is same. The output overcurrent limit (OCL) is implemented using a cycle-by-cycle valley detect control circuit. The switch current is monitored during the OFF state by measuring the low-side FET drain-to-source voltage. This voltage is proportional to the switch current. To improve accuracy, the voltage sensing is temperature compensated.

During the on-time of the high-side FET switch, the switch current increases at a linear rate determined by Vin, Vout, the on-time, and the output inductor value. During the on-time of the low-side FET switch, this current decreases linearly. The average value of the switch current is the load current IOUT. If the monitored current is above the OCL level, the converter maintains low-side FET on and delays the creation of a new set pulse, even the voltage feedback loop requires one, until the current level becomes OCL level or lower. In subsequent switching cycles, the on-time is set to a fixed value and the current is monitored in the same manner.

There are some important considerations for this type of overcurrent protection. When the load current is higher than the overcurrent threshold by one half of the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current, the OCL is triggered and the current is being limited, the output voltage tends to drop because the load demand is higher than what the converter can support. When the output voltage falls below 60% of the target voltage, the UVP comparator detects it, the output will be discharged and latched after a wait time of 256 µs. When the overcurrent condition is removed, the output voltage is latched till the VDD_EN is toggled or repower the VCC_5V power input.
