7.3.1 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

The TPS794 uses an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that disables the output until the input voltage is greater than the rising UVLO voltage. This circuit verifies that the device does not exhibit any unpredictable behavior when the supply voltage is lower than the operational range of the internal circuitry, VIN(min).
