8.2.2.8 External UVLO

In some cases, an input UVLO level different than that provided internal to the device is needed. This can be accomplished by using the circuit shown in Figure 8-2. The turn-on voltage is designated as VON while the turn-off voltage is VOFF. First, a value for RENB is chosen in the range of 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ, then Equation 13 and Equation 14 are used to calculate RENT and VOFF.

GUID-AB8B4BFD-D866-4FE7-902C-47BB53FE1BDF-low.gifFigure 8-2 Setup for External UVLO Application
Equation 13. RENT =RENB×VONVEN-H -1
Equation 14. VOFF =VEN-L×VONVEN-H 

where

  • VON = VIN turn-on voltage
  • VOFF = VIN turn-off voltage
