PRODUCTION DATA
The input over voltage protection is realized by the converter core modulation scheme. It shall avoid any damage to the device in case the current flows from the output to the input and the input source cannot sink current. If the converter forced PWM mode is active the current can go negative until to the negative peak current limit. Once the input voltage threshold VT+(IVP) is reach on the VIN-pin the protection disables the forced PWM mode and only allows current to flow from VIN to VOUT. After the input voltage drops under the input voltage protection threshold, the fPWM mode can be activated again.
The threshold for the VT+(IVP) is programmable via the V_IVP register field and can be disabled through the EN_IVP bit.
