Six sets of UVLO thresholds are available with turn-on and turnoff thresholds of: (14.5V and 9V), (8.4V and 7.6V), (7V and 6.6V) respectively. The first set is primarily intended for off-line and 48V distributed power applications, where the wider hysteresis allows for lower frequency operation and longer soft-starting time of the converter. The second group of UVLO options is ideal for high frequency DC-DC converters typically running from a 12VDC input. The third, and newest, set has been added to address battery powered and portable applications. Table 7-2 shows the maximum duty cycle and UVLO thresholds by device.
MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE (%) | UVLO ON (V) | UVLO OFF (V) | DEVICE NUMBER |

During UVLO the IC draws less than 100µA of supply current. After crossing the turnon threshold, the device supply current increases to a maximum of 3mA, typically 2.3mA. This low start-up current allows the power supply designer to optimize the selection of the startup resistor value to provide a more efficient design. In applications where low component cost overrides maximum efficiency, the low run current of 2.3mA (typical) allows the control device to run directly through the single resistor to (+) rail, rather than requiring a bootstrap winding on the power transformer, along with a rectifier. The start and run resistor for this case must also pass enough current to allow driving the primary switching MOSFET, which may be a few milliamps in small devices.
