The overvoltage protection is set by configuring the RBOT_OVP and RTOP_OVP resistors. The overvoltage protection feature turns off the switch if the input voltage exceeds a predetermined value as described in Section 9.3.1. For this design, the goal is to have the overvoltage protection activate at a nominal voltage of 13.5 V. First set RTOP_OVP = 100 kΩ with a 0.1% tolerance resistor, then use Equation 10 to calculate the nominal value of RBOT_OVP. A nominal 9.31-kΩ 0.1% tolerance resistor best satisfies the equation.
where
In order to ensure the selected RBOT_OVP value is acceptable for both the minimum and maximum OVP rising threshold, use Equation 11. VINOVP_RISE(MIN) is selected as the highest possible value that VIN will reach during nominal operation (to prevent false OVP trips). VINOVP_RISE(MAX) may be selected by the user as long as it is within the VIN of the Recommended Operating Conditions. These selections result in an allowable value of RBOT_OVP between 9.214 kΩ and 9.650 kΩ. The selected 9.31-kΩ 0.1% tolerance resistor satisfies these constraints, even when taking into account its tolerance.
where
Since the OVP pin has hysteresis, the OVP falling threshold will be different than the rising threshold. Therefore, in order to ensure the selected RBOT_OVP value is acceptable for the OVP falling threshold, use Equation 12. VINOVP_FALL(MIN) and VINOVP_FALL(MAX) values may be selected using the same method as for VINOVP_RISE(MIN) and VINOVP_RISE(MAX). These selections results in an allowable RBOT_OVP value between of 9.129 kΩ and 9.460 kΩ. The selected 9.31-kΩ 0.1% tolerance resistor also satisfies these constraints, even when taking into account its tolerance.
where
To summarize, using Equation 3 and Equation 4 with RTOP_OVP = 100 kΩ and RBOT_OVP = 9.31 kΩ, the eFuse will nominally go into overvoltage protection mode at 13.50 V and exit at 13.38 V. Taking into account the minimum and maximum OVP pin threshold and resistor tolerances, the switch will enter over voltage protection mode between 13.01 V and 13.88 V and exit between 12.77 V and 13.76 V.
The eFuse input voltage must remain within the recommended operating conditions (which contain a maximum VIN of 14 V). If OVP is configured above 14 V, then the OVP mode should only be used as a last resort feature. The eFuse is not intended to be above 14 V.
