CS5151
Applications Information: continued
components, input power supply, and PC board traces
than occurs with constant current limit protection (see
Figures 10 and 11).
If the short circuit condition is removed, output voltage
will rise above the 1V level, preventing the FAULT latch
from being set, allowing normal operation to resume.
External Output Enable Circuit
On/off control of the regulator can be implemented
through two additional discrete components (see Figure 12).
This circuit operates by pulling the soft start pin high, and
the V
FFB
pin low, emulating a short circuit condition.

tection. Gate pulses are delivered while the soft start capacitor charges,
and cease during discharge.
External Power Good Circuit
An optional Power Good signal can be generated through
the use of four additional external components (see Figure
15). The threshold voltage of the Power Good signal can be
adjusted per the following equation:

Overvoltage Protection
Overvoltage protection (OVP) is provided as result of the
normal operation of the V
2
™ control topology and requires
no additional external components. The control loop
responds to an overvoltage condition within 100ns, causing
the MOSFET to shut off, disconnecting the regulator from
its input voltage.
