PRODUCTION DATA
The FLT pin is a programmable fault pin and changes operation basedo on the UCC28750 variant, whether the device is a brown-out or over-temperature/over-voltage version.
The brown-out variant is a fault method to control the turn-on and turn-off thresholds of the system application. Once the system has crossed the turn-on (also known as brown-in) threshold, the UCC28750 turns on an offset current, typically 4μA, which makes the thresholds programmable. The offset current is turned on only after the bulk voltage passes the brown-in threshold first. The FLT pin voltage must cross the Vbrown-out threshold for tbrown-out for the brown-out fault to trigger. The time required to trigger the fault disqualifies any short term false triggering events from incorrectly triggering the brown-out. The FLT pin has a clamp internally that prevents the FLT pin from reaching dangerous levels if the application requires the brownout feature and has a wide input range requirement (such as a 100V,AC to 400V,AC operating range).
The top resistor shown in Figure 7-17 must not be a single resistor. Most non-high-voltage rated resistors typically have a voltage rating of around 200V. Therefore, the top resistor in the brownout resistor divider must be formed with several resistors, typically three.
Programming the brown-in and brown-out thresholds is a matter of choosing the desired voltage divider resistor values:
Where:
The programmable over-voltage and over-temperature features are available in the UCC28750 variants. The overvoltage protection fault is triggered when the FLT pin voltage crosses 4V, VFLT(ovp), for three consecutive switching cycles, similar as the three switching cycles required for OVLO. In Figure 7-18, VSYS_OVP is a voltage source that can be used to triggeer the protection outside of the device VDD and system output voltage. If the overvoltage is configured with a Zener diode, then the following restriction applies:
Where:
A different method can be applied as long as the voltage stays within the FLT pin's voltage rating.
The overtemperature fault is triggered when the FLT pin voltage crosses the 1V, VFLT(tsd), overtemperature threshold for 32 switching cycles, FLTdelay(tsd). Finally, the disable threshold of 0.5V ,VFLT(dis), stops switching operation immediately immediately.
