Over−voltage and Over−temperature Protection
The OVP/OTP pin is a dedicated input to allow for a
simple and cost effective implementation of two key
protection features that are needed in adapter applications:
over−voltage (OVP) and over−temperature (OTP)
protections. Both of these protections can be either latched
or auto−recovery– depending on the version of NCP1399.
