PRODUCTION DATA
The FLT pin is a programmable protection pin that shuts down the device in unwanted conditions. The UCC28750 device has two versions of the FLT pin: a programmable brown-in/brown-out detection version, and over-temperature and over-voltage version. All versions of the device can disable the system by pulling the FLT pin below 0.5V, VFLT(dis). There is no delay in exiting the disable state when the FLT pin is raised above the VFLT(dis) threshold.
The brown-in/out fault detection monitors the rectified bulk voltage in a flyback application and stops switching operation when the line voltage drops below a programmed threshold longer than 45ms, tbrown-out. The brown-out fault resumes switching operation immediately when the FLT pin voltage goes above the brown-out threshold and does not wait for a new VDD fault cycle.
The overvoltage protection fault triggers when the FLT pin rises above VFLT(ovp) for three consecutive switching cycles. Care is required when designing the overvoltage circuit such that the current going into the FLT pin does not exceed 5mA. If the FLT pin voltage drops below 1.0V, VFLT(tsd), for 32 switching cycles then the overtemperature protection response is triggered.
The FLT pin can be left floating, or open, for only the UCC287502/4/6/8 variants. If the pin is left floating in UCC287501/3/5/7 variants that have the brown-out feature the device does not start up as the FLT pin is in a disable state. At startup with the brown-out configuration there is no current sourced from the FLT pin to raise the pin voltage above protection levels.
More information on the operation and programming of the FLT pin is found in section Section 7.4.4.
