PRODUCTION DATA
The device stops switching and enters brownout protection if input bulk capacitor voltage VBULK reduces and stays below 98V (DC, or 70V (AC) input) for longer than 60ms duration. This 60ms counter is reset if VBULK exceeds 100V (DC) anytime before the counter expiration. Brownout protection avoids large primary side currents and resultant conduction losses during irregular line input conditions. During low line input conditions, VBULK can reduce below 98V (DC) in every line cycle with large POUT. However, since VBULK recovers to greater than 100V (DC) in every line half cycle, the counter is reset, thereby avoiding brown-out fault from triggering and normal switching and power transfer continue. Once brownout protection is triggered, the device auto-restarts after a 1s delay if VBULK recovers to greater than 112V (DC, or 80V AC input) followed by soft start sequence to normal operation.
