PRODUCTION DATA
This device integrates the functionality of an overvoltage protector. The device can be paired with an external N-channel FET to block input voltages in excess of the VBUS rating. For correct operation, connect the cathode of the body diode to the VAC node. Back-to-back body diodes between VAC and VBUS are not recommended and will prevent correct operation. The input voltage is sensed via the VAC pin and the ACDRV pin is used to control the external FET gate for protection. The default OVP threshold is 14.2 V. The ACOV circuit has a reaction time of 130 ns (typical) to turn off the external ACFET. Note that turning off the external ACFET takes longer and depends on its gate capacitance. In addition to turning off the external ACFET, an ACOV event immediately stops converter switching whether in buck or Boost mode. The device automatically resumes normal operation once the input voltage drops back below the OVP threshold. During ACOV, REGN LDO is on, and the device does not enter HIZ mode.
