UCC33420 pre-production samples have the following operating limits. Production
devices will have these limitations removed.
- For ambient operating temperature <
0°C, the following sequence is required to allow the device reach regulation point
during start-up. EN/FLT pin required to be high (VEN/FLT >
VEN_R ) before applying input voltage VINP to the device. This can be
achieved by connecting EN/FLT pin after the 18kΩ resistor directly to the VINP pin and
applying VINP with rise time > 6ms on the device.
- For ambient operating temperature <
0°C, the following protection features; short-circuit, UVP and OVP protections of VCC
output are disabled. Fault reporting and auto-restart features due to these faults will
be disabled as well. If the part shuts down as a result of fault condition, the part
will require to follow the same condition in step 1 above to restart and reach
regulation. This require to recycle VINP by falling below VVINP_UVLO_F and
then rising above VVINP_UVLO_R with the same > 6ms rise time.
