Register Configuration 2 (0x2)

This register sets the behavior when VOUT reaches the Overvoltage Protection OVPmax, the operation mode (DEM or FPWM) and if the nFAULT-pin indicates an Overvoltage event (OVP). The register also enables or disables the Input Current Limit (ICL) protection and the Spread Spectrum (DRSS). The UVLO bit overrides the UVLO function and the device behaves as if the UVLO rising threshold has been passed initiating soft-start.

OVP_MAX_LATCH: Selects if the device uses the build in 1V hysteresis and works in hiccup mode when OVPmax is triggered [0b0] or if the device enters FAULT state and stays latched off [0b1].
OPERATION_MODE: Selects if the operation mode is set by the MODE-pin [0b00] or if the MODE-pin is overwritten and DEM mode [0b01] or FPWM mode [0b10 or 11] is set.
NFAULT_OVP: Selects if the nFAULT-pin also reacts on overvoltage (OVP). When enabled [0b1] the nFAULT-pin is pulled low when VOUT is above the OVP (Overvoltage Protection) or below the UV (Undervoltage) threshold. When disabled [0b0] the nFAULT-pin is only pulled low when VOUT is below UV (Undervoltage) threshold.
ICL_LATCH: When ICL_latch is enabled [0b1] and the peak current limit is exceeded by 20%, the device goes to the FAULT state (turns off and is latched). If ICL_latch is disabled [0b0] the device stays active and tries to limit the inductor current at peak current limit.
SPREAD_SPECTRUM Selects if clock dithering with dual random spread spectrum (DRSS) is enabled [0b1] or clock dithering is disabled [0b0].
UVLO When overwrite UVLO function [0b1] is selected the device behaves as if UVLO/EN is above the UVLO rising threshold. The UVLO function is disabled and enabled again when this bit is set back to [0b0], which gives control back to the UVLO/EN-pin.
