PRODUCTION DATA
The UVLO circuit, present on the IN pin, makes sure that the device remains disabled before the input supply reaches the minimum operational voltage range, and that the device shuts down when the input supply falls too low.
The UVLOIN circuit has a minimum response time of several microseconds to fully assert. During this time, a downward line transient below approximately 1.6 V causes the input supply UVLO to assert for a short time. However, the UVLOIN circuit can possibly not have enough stored energy to fully discharge the internal circuits inside of the device. When the UVLOIN circuit does not fully discharge, internal circuitry is not fully disabled.
The effect of the downward line transient can trigger the overshoot prevention circuit and can be easily mitigated by using the solution proposed in the Precision Enable (External UVLO)Precision Enable (External UVLO) section.
Figure 8-7 shows the UVLOIN circuit response to various input voltage events. This diagram can be separated into the following regions:
