6.5 Under-voltage Protection
Pins FB are monitored during converter operation by under-voltage (UV) comparators. If the FB voltage drops below
0.5V, a fault signal is generated. The internal fault logic shut down regulator simultaneously when the fault signal
triggers a restart. At time t0, VOUT has dropped below 0.5V of the nominal output voltage. Output is quickly shut
down and the internal soft-start function begins producing soft-start ramps. The delay interval, t0 to 3*tss, seen by
the output is equivalent to three soft-start cycles. After a short delay interval of 10.5ms, the fourth internal soft-start
cycle initiates a normal soft-start ramp of the output, at time 3*tss. Both outputs are brought back into regulation by
time 4*tss, as long as the UV event has cleared. When the cause of the UV still been present after the delay interval.
A fault signal could then be generated and the outputs once again shutdown.
