PRODUCTION DATA
The device provides the output overvoltage protection (OVP). The OVP comparator monitors an internal FB node which is connected to either the VOUT pin through internal FB resistors or the external FB pin. OVP is triggered when the voltage at the internal FB node or the external FB pin rises above the overvoltage threshold (VOVTH). In buck configuration, the high-side driver turns off during OVP, and the low-side driver turns on until zero current is detected if the light load switching mode is either DE or skip mode. In FPWM, the device turns on the low-side driver by force until the high-side switch turns on again.
When FB is greater than VOVTH for 16 consecutive clock cycles in boost, the low-side driver turns off and the high-side driver turns on 100% by force. Especially when FB is greater than VOVTH in boost skip mode, the low-side driver turns off immediately and the high-side driver turns on until zero current is detected.
