PRODUCTION DATA
When the RSENSE load is open, VFB is higher than VREF, and VCOMP is driven low and clamped. The high-side NMOS is forced to turn on with the minimum on-time each cycle, tMIN_ON. If VFB rises higher than VFB_OVP, the device starts the auto-retry timer. After the counter tRETRY_ON expires, the device shuts down and starts another counter tRETRY_OFF. During the shutdown period, both high-side and low-side NMOSs are switched off. The device repeats these actions until the failure condition is removed. To prevent the FB pin from overvoltage damage during the tRETRY_ON period, the FB pin implements a comparator with a 1-V threshold. If VFB > 1 V, both high-side and low-side NMOSs are switched off immediately and the tRETRY_OFF counter starts.
