6.3.18.2 Register Configuration 1 (0x1)

This register sets the OVPmax level, if the nFAULT-pin indicates the thermal shutdown warning signal and the output voltage VOUT slew rate when programmed by I2C.

The OVP_MAX bit sets the maximum Overvoltage Protection level (VOVP_max)).

OVPmax = 0b00 sets 64V
OVPmax = 0b01 sets 50V
OVPmax = 0b10 sets 35V
OVPmax = 0b10 sets 28.5V

When the device temperature gets close to the thermal shutdown temperature the thermal warning flag is generated (see Register Configuration 3 (0x3)). The nFAULT-pin is pulled low during thermal warning when the nFAULT_TWARN bit = 0b1. The nFAULT-pin is not reacting on the thermal warning signal when nFAULT_TWARN bit = 0b1.

To avoid high input currents when the output voltage is changed by I2C during operation, the output voltage is changed in 1V steps by Digital Voltage Scaling (DVS) with a programmable slew rate VOUT_SLEW ramping to the new target voltage (see Figure 6-24). During the voltage change (DVS) the 110% Overvoltage Protection (VOVP-H) and Undervoltage Protection (VUVP) are disabled. There is no VOUT smoothening or limitation when VOUT programming is switched between I2C set voltage and ATRK/DTRK-pin.

VOUT_SLEW = 0b000 sets no slew rate control (DVS = disabled)
VOUT_SLEW = 0b001 sets 1V / 100μs
VOUT_SLEW = 0b010 sets 1V / 200μs
VOUT_SLEW = 0b011 sets 1V / 400μs
VOUT_SLEW = 0b100 sets 1V / 800μs
VOUT_SLEW = 0b101 sets 1V / 1.6ms
VOUT_SLEW = 0b110 sets 1V / 3.2ms
VOUT_SLEW = 0b111 sets 1V / 6.4ms
