Protection Features
Output voltage out of regulation is defined as either a UVP or OVP event. The protection mechanism in case of either type
of fault is described in this section.
Gate Driver UVLO Protection
The NCP811022 monitors Vcc and DRON signals during UVLO restart, as shown in Figure 17.

Soft Start
Soft start is implemented internally. A digital counter steps the DAC up from zero to the target voltage based on the
predetermined slew rate programmed on startup. The controller enables and sets the PWM signal to the 2.0 V MID state to
indicate that the drivers should be in diode mode. The COMP pin released to begin soft−start. The DAC will ramp from Zero
to the target DAC codes and the PWM outputs will begin to fire. Each phase will move out of the MID state when the first PWM
pulse is produced preventing the discharge of a pre−charged output.
