SLUSFP1B April 2025 – November 2025 UCC34141-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
UCC34141-Q1 has protection mechanism against BSW Pin faults during the soft-start period for the COM-VEE buck-boost converter.
In the case of BSW pin-open, when VDD voltage passes VVDD_UVLOS_R threshold, the part detects the first inductor current pulse width, which is the current ramp-up period until it hits the peak current limit. If the first inductor current pulse width is higher than the normal pulse width using largest inductance (>2.9μs), the BSW fault protection will be triggered to disable the buck-boost switching. Then, the device will stop switching after VDD soft start completion.
In the case of BSW pin-short to COM or VEE pin, the part detects the inductor current at the end of leading-edge-blank period. If the current is higher than the inductor peak current limit during soft-start, the BSW fault protection will be triggered to disable the buck-boost switching. Then the device will stop switching after VDD soft start completion.
