7.3.12 Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection

The device monitors a resistor-divided feedback voltage to detect overvoltage and undervoltage events. When the FB voltage becomes lower than 80% of the VINTREF voltage, the UVP comparator detects and an internal UVP delay counter begins counting. After the 68-µs UVP delay time, the device enters Hiccup mode and restarts with a sleep time of 14 ms. The UVP function enables after the soft-start period is complete.

When the FB voltage becomes higher than 116% of the VINTREF voltage, the OVP comparator detects and the circuit latches OFF the high-side MOSFET driver and turns on the low-side MOSFET until reaching a negative current limit INOCL. Upon reaching the negative current limit, the low-side FET is turned off, and the high-side FET is turned on again, for a proper on time (determined by VIN/VO/fSW). The device operates in this cycle until the output voltage is pulled down under the UVP threshold voltage for 68 µs. After the 68-µs UVP delay time, the device enters hiccup mode and re-starts with a sleep time of 14 ms.

During the 68-μs UVP delay time, if the output voltage becomes higher than the UV threshold, thus is not qualified for a UV event, the timer will be reset to zero. When the output voltage triggers the UV threshold again, the timer of the 68 μs restarts.
