PRODUCTION DATA
This feature shall avoid any damage to the device in case the ext. feedback pin or compensatoin pin is not working properly (e.g. in case of a component or pin short)
The over voltage protection is realized by the converter core and reference system. The absolute output voltage is monitored and when the OVP2 function is triggered the converter logic will take an appropriate measure (e.g. emergency skip mode) to avoid a further increase of the output voltage.
If the output voltage threshold VT+(OVP2) is reach on the VOUT-pin the buck-boost core logic disables the converter power stage and enters a high impedance state at the switch nodes. If the output voltage falls back under this threshold the converter operation is resumed
In order to accommodate a wide operating range, the OVP2 threshold is programmable by the V_OVP2 register field.
For power savings the OVP2 circuit can be turned off.
