SLUSG21A May 2025 – September 2025 UCC25661
PRODUCTION DATA
UCC25661 uses a multi-function pin (OVP/OTP) to monitor for output overvoltage and external over-temperature conditions. Output voltage is monitored through reflected voltage on bias winding and supply voltage VCCP.
A Zener diode is connected between VCCP and the OVP/OTP pin. Under normal operating conditions, the Zener does not conduct and the OVP/OTP pin voltage is the result of the NTC resistance and IOTP source current. If VCCP rises high enough to exceed the Zener breakdown voltage, the voltage on the OVP/OTP pin is pulled high because of the Zener current. If the voltage on OVP/OTP exceeds the VOVPpos threshold for 40us the controller detects a fault and stops switching.
A NTC is connected from OVP/OTP to GNDP. An internal current source, IOTP, flows out of the OVP/OTP pin and into the NTC resistor. Based on the temperature of the NTC, the resulting voltage on the pin is compared to VOTPNeg to determine if an external over-temperature fault occurs. Upon detection of external over-temperature protection, UCC25661 moves to the fault state. After the 1s wait period, UCC25661 checks the OVP/OTP pin voltage. If the OVP/OTP pin voltage is higher than VOVPPos, the UCC25661 attempts to restart. If restarting is not possible, the UCC25661 continues to wait in fault idle state. During burst mode, the over-temperature protection is disabled to minimize quiescent current. When transitioning from burst mode to normal switching, the OTP function is re-enabled.
