PRODUCTION DATA
The LM51770 has a dual function enable and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) pin. The internal device logic and reference system powers up once the pin voltage is above the VT+(EN) threshold. Once this condition is met, the device is in standby mode. If the EN/UVLO pin voltage is below the VT-(EN) threshold, the device is in shutdown mode to save quiescent current. Find the device operation modes description in Section 8.4.
The UVLO function of the device can detect an low input voltage condition for the power stage to avoid a brownout condition. The detection threshold as well as the required hysteresis are adjustable with an external voltage divider on the EN/UVLO pin.
If the EN/UVLO pin voltage is above the VT+(EN) threshold, the internal current source for the UVLO hysteresis is active. If the EN/UVLO pin voltage is above the VT+(UVLO) threshold, the internal current source for the UVLO hysteresis is off.
The UVLO features an internal delay time (td(UVLO)) for the shutdown to avoid any undesired converter shutdown due to input noise on the UVLO detection pin. The voltage on the EN/UVLO pin must be below the VT-(UVLO) threshold for the delay time, td(UVLO). Once these conditions are met, the device logic immediately stops the converter operation.
The UVLO threshold is typically set by a resistor divider from VIN to AGND. The effective turn-on threshold is calculated using Equation 1. The hysteresis between the UVLO turn-on threshold and turn-off threshold is set by the upper resistor and the internal hysteresis current.
