6.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

For the new chip, the device has an independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that monitors the input voltage, allowing a controlled and consistent turn on and off of the output voltage. To prevent the device from turning off if the input drops during turn on, the UVLO has hysteresis as specified in the Section 5.5 table.
