PRODUCTION DATA
During the system start-up, VCC voltage starts to rise from 0 V. Before the VCC voltage reaches the corresponding turn on threshold, the IC is operating in UVLO mode. In this mode, the VREF pin voltage is not generated. When VCC is above 1 V and below the turnon threshold, the VREF pin is actively pulled low through a 5-kΩ resistor. This way, VREF can be used as a logic signal to indicate UVLO mode. If the bias voltage to VCC drops below the UVLO-off threshold, PWM switching stops and VREF returns to 0 V. The device can be restarted by applying a voltage greater than the UVLO-on threshold to the VCC pin.
