7.3.7 VDDQ Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection

The TPS51916 sets the overvoltage protection (OVP) when VDDQSNS voltage reaches a level 20% (typ) higher than the REFIN voltage. When an OV event is detected, the controller changes the output target voltage to 0 V. This usually turns off DRVH and forces DRVL to be on. When the inductor current begins to flow through the low-side MOSFET and reaches the negative OCL, DRVL is turned off and DRVH is turned on, for a minimum on-time.

After the minimum on-time expires, DRVH is turned off and DRVL is turned on again. This action minimizes the output node undershoot due to LC resonance. When the VDDQSNS reaches 0 V, the driver output is latched as DRVH off, DRVL on. VTTREF and VTT are turned off and discharged using the non-tracking discharge MOSFETs regardless of the tracking mode.

The undervoltage protection (UVP) latch is set when the VDDQSNS voltage remains lower than 68% (typ) of the REFIN voltage for 1 ms or longer. In this fault condition, the controller latches DRVH low and DRVL low and discharges the VDDQ, VTT and VTTREF outputs. UVP detection function is enabled after 1.2 ms of SMPS operation to ensure startup.

To release the OVP and UVP latches, toggle S5 or adjust the V5IN voltage down and up beyond the undervoltage lockout threshold.
