Figure 8-2 illustrates the UVLO (IN or BIAS) circuit response to various input voltage
events. The diagram can be separated into the following regions:
- Region A: The device does not
turn on until the input reaches the UVLO rising threshold.
- Region B: Normal operation
with a regulated output.
- Region C: Brownout event
above the UVLO falling threshold (UVLO rising threshold – UVLO hysteresis).
The output may fall out of regulation but the device is still enabled.
- Region D: Normal operation
with a regulated output.
- Region E: Brownout event
below the UVLO falling threshold. The device is disabled in most cases and
the output falls because of the load and active discharge circuit. The
device is reenabled when the UVLO rising threshold is reached by the input
voltage and a normal start up then follows.
- Region F: Normal operation
followed by the input falling to the UVLO falling threshold.
- Region G: The device is
disabled when the input voltage falls below the UVLO falling threshold to 0
V. The output falls because of the load and active discharge circuit.
