PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The UCC33020-Q1 has a fault reporting mechanism that can alert a system level MCU or monitoring circuitry of faulty conditions on the device that resulted in a shutdown. If an input over-voltage, over-temperature or output under-voltage protection faults occur. The primary-side controller and fault monitoring system will enable a current source that will sink IFault current for tFault duration. If a resistor >18kΩ is connected between the MCU and the EN/FLT pin, the VFLT will be pulled low for the same tFault duration whenever one of the abovementioned faults occur that resulted in a shutdown of the device as shown in Figure 7-6. If the fault reporting mechanism is not required on the system, the EN/FLT pin can be connected directly to the enable source voltage without the 18kΩ resistor.
The device has an auto-restart feature that occurs after the device is shutdown when output under-voltage or over-temperature faults occur. After the tFault time expires, a 160ms timer will start and the part will attempt a new soft-start sequence as shown in Figure 7-7. If the fault has been removed, the VCC will soft-start to regulation successfully. If the fault remains, the part will shutdown again and report the fault. The device can continuously operate safely in hiccup mode as long as the fault occurs.
