Toꢀ protectꢀ theꢀ circuitꢀ fromꢀ theꢀ damageꢀ
duringꢀ overꢀ loadꢀ conditionꢀ orꢀ shortꢀ
condition,ꢀ aꢀ smartꢀ OLPꢀ functionꢀ isꢀ
implementedꢀ inꢀ theꢀ PR8275.ꢀ Figureꢀ 7ꢀ
showsꢀ theꢀ waveformsꢀ ofꢀ theꢀ OLPꢀ
operation.ꢀUnderꢀsuchꢀfaultꢀcondition,ꢀtheꢀ
feedbackꢀsystemꢀwillꢀforceꢀtheꢀvoltageꢀloopꢀ
towardꢀ theꢀ saturationꢀ andꢀ thusꢀ pullꢀ theꢀ
