7.2.6 Undervoltage and overvoltage protection
With reference to Figure 1, the FB pin is connected internally to the overvoltage and
undervoltage comparators, labelled OVP and UVP respectively. In normal operation,
the voltage on FB is regulated at 0.8 V.
If the voltage on FB exceeds the overvoltage protection (OVP) threshold (1 V) for
longer than 30 µs, an overvoltage condition is detected, the gate drive signals to the
MOSFETs are disabled, and the PIP250M latches off. To reset the latch, the
PIP250M must be powered down by reducing V
DDC
below the power down reset
threshold and then increasing V
DDC
back up to 5 V.
If the voltage on FB drops below the undervoltage protection (UVP) threshold (0.5 V)
for longer than 30 µs, then an undervoltage condition is detected and the gate drive
signals to the MOSFET drivers are turned off. If three undervoltage pulses are
detected then the PIP250M latches off. To reset the PIP250M, the supply voltage
(V
DDC
) must be reduced below the power down reset threshold and then increased
back up to 5 V.
