7.1.2.2 BIAS UVLO

The BIAS pin UVLO (UVLO(BIAS)) circuit makes sure the device remains disabled before the input supply reaches the minimum operational voltage range. This circuit makes sure the device shuts down when the input supply falls too low.

The UVLO(BIAS) circuit has a minimum response time of several microseconds to fully assert. During this time, a downward line transient below approximately 2.8V or VREF + 2.1V causes the input supply UVLO(BIAS) to assert for a short time. When this transient is below approximately 2.8V, enable the charge pump; when at VREF + 2.1V, disable the charge pump. However, the UVLO(BIAS) circuit does not have enough stored energy to fully discharge the internal circuits inside of the device. Thus, potentially resulting in incomplete discharge of the OUT and NR/SS capacitors.

Note: The effect of the downward line transient triggers the overshoot prevention circuit. This effect is easily mitigated by using the solution proposed in the Precision Enable (External UVLO) section.
