7.4.10.5 Overtemperature Protection

The UCG2883x/4x offers overtemperature protection to prevent system operation at excessively high temperatures and limit the components from exceeding maximum ambient temperature ratings. The device has separate internal overtemperature protection to limit the die temperature and an external overtemperature protection to monitor and limit the system temperature using a resistor with negative temperature coefficient (NTC). The internal overtemperature fault triggers when die temperature exceeds 150℃ and switching stops. The device recovers to normal operation and switching resumes when the die temperature reduces below 140℃. The internal overtemperature protection is an auto-retry fault.

For the external overtemperature fault, connect the NTC between the FLT and AGND pins. To check for the external overtemperature fault, a 75μA current is sourced from the FLT pin through the external resistor to ground. This current is sourced for a 250μs on-time during every 10ms time period. An up-down counter increments every time when VFLT is lower than 0.6V (typically) with the sourced current. This counter decrements when VFLT is higher than 0.6V (typically) during the 250μs duration. An external overtemperature fault is declared at a count of three. If the FLT is pulled below 0.66V (typically) during initial startup, the device is in overtemperature protection mode and does not start up.
