Figure 7-2 illustrates the UVLO (IN or BIAS) circuit response to various input voltage
events. The diagram is separated into the following regions:
- Region A: The device does not
turn on until the input reaches the UVLO rising threshold.
- Region B: Normal operation
with a regulated output.
- Region C: Brownout event above the UVLO falling
threshold (UVLO rising threshold – UVLO hysteresis). The output potentially
falls out of regulation but the device is still enabled.
- Region D: Normal operation
with a regulated output.
- Region E: Brownout event below the UVLO falling
threshold. The device is disabled in most cases and the output falls because
of the load and active discharge circuit. The device is reenabled when the
UVLO rising threshold is reached by the input voltage and a normal start-up
then follows.
- Region F: Normal operation
followed by the input falling to the UVLO falling threshold.
- Region G: The device is disabled when the input
voltage falls below the UVLO falling threshold to 0V. The output falls
because of the load and active discharge circuit.
