6.3.3 UVLO

An undervoltage lockout pin is provided to disable the regulator without entering shutdown. If the UVLO pin is pulled below 1.215 V, the regulator enters a standby mode of operation with the soft-start capacitor discharged and outputs disabled, but with the VCC regulator running. If the UVLO input is pulled above 1.215 V, the controller resumes normal operation. A voltage divider from input to ground can be used to set a VIN threshold to disable the supply in brown-out conditions or for low input faults. The UVLO pin has a 5-µA internal pullup current that allows this pin to left open if the input undervoltage lockout function is not required. For applications which require fast on or off cycling, the UVLO pin with an open collector control signal may be used to ensure proper start-up sequencing.

The UVLO pin is also used to implement a hiccup current limit. If a current limit fault exists for more than 256 consecutive clock cycles, the UVLO pin is internally pulled down to 200 mV and then released, and a new SS cycle initiated. A capacitor to ground connected to the UVLO pin sets the timing for hiccup mode current limit. When this feature is used in conjunction with the voltage divider, a diode across the top resistor may be used to discharge the capacitor in the event of an input undervoltage condition. There is a 5-µs filter at the input to the fault comparator. At higher switching frequency (greater than approximately 250 kHz) the hiccup timer may be disabled if the fault capacitor is not used.
