8.3.13 Over-voltage Protection

If the output voltage at the VOUT pin is detected above over-voltage protection threshold, typically 21 V, the TPS61178x stops switching immediately until the voltage at the VOUT pin drops lower than the output over-voltage protection threshold (with 500mV hysteresis). This function prevents the devices against the over-voltage and secures the circuits connected to the output from excessive over voltage.
