RT6217A/B
Power Good Indication
The RT6217A/B provides a power-good (PGOOD) open-
drain output pin. It is to be connected to an external voltage
source through a pull-up resistor. The power-good function
is activated after soft-start is finished and is controlled by
a comparator connected to the feedback signal VFB. If
VFB raises above a power-good threshold (VTH_PGLH
)
(typically 95% of the target value), the PGOOD pin will be
in high impedance and VPGOOD will be held high after a
certain delay elapsed. When VFB drops by a power-good
hysteresis (ΔVTH_PGLH) (typically 5% of the target value)
or exceeds VTH_PGHL (typically 115% of the target value),
the PGOODpin will be pulled low. For VFB above VTH_PGHL
,
VPGOOD will be pulled high again when VFB drops back by
a power-good hysteresis (ΔVTH_PGHL) (typically 5% of the
target value). Once being started-up, PGOOD will be
pulled low to GND if any internal protection is triggered
except current limit protection.
Over-Temperature Protection (Thermal Shutdown)
The RT6217A/B includes an over-temperature protection
(OTP) circuitry to prevent overheating due to excessive
power dissipation. The OTP will shut down switching
operation when junction temperature exceeds a thermal
shutdown threshold TSD. Once the junction temperature
cools down by a thermal shutdown hysteresis (ΔTSD), the
IC will resume normal operation with a complete soft-start.
