Abstract

Out-of-Bounds (OOB) overvoltage protection protects the output load at a much lower overvoltage threshold above the target voltage. OOB protection does not trigger an overvoltage fault, which is an early non-fault overvoltage protection mechanism.

This application note presents a detailed introduction to this OOB feature based on TPS56C230, including OOB operation principle, the differences between OOB and overvoltage protection (OVP), OOB operation logic and OOB advantages in load transient.
