PRODUCTION DATA.
An undervoltage lockout pin is provided to disable the regulator when the input is below the desired operating range. If the UVLO pin is below 1.13 V, the regulator enters a standby mode with the outputs disabled, but with VCC regulator operating. If the UVLO input exceeds 1.23 V, the regulator will resume normal operation. A voltage divider from the input to ground can be used to set a VIN threshold to disable the regulator in brownout conditions or for low input faults.
If a current limit fault exists for more than 256 clock cycles, the regulator will enter a hiccup mode of current limiting and the UVLO pin will be pulled low by an internal switch. This switch turns off when the UVLO pin approaches ground potential allowing the UVLO pin to rise. A capacitor connected to the UVLO pin will delay the return to a normal operating level and thereby set the off-time of the hiccup mode fault protection. An internal 5-µA pullup current pulls the UVLO pin to a high state to ensure normal operation when the VIN UVLO function is not required and the pin is left floating.
