In the event that a large load is encountered during skip
cycle operation, the circuit automatically disables the
normal Soft−Skip procedure and delivers maximum power
to the load (Figure 37). This feature, the Transient Load
Detector (TLD), is initiated anytime a skip event is exited
and the FB pin is greater than 2.85 V, as would be the case
for a sudden increase in output load.

the output does not switch.

is within the operating range of the
feedback pin. Then the voltage on this pin sets
the skip level as explained earlier.

In order to prevent unexpected latchoff due to noise,
it is very important to put a noise decoupling capacitor
near Pin 1 to increase the noise immunity. It is also
recommended to always have a resistor from pin 1 to GND.
This further reduces the risk of premature latchoff. Also
note that if the additional latch−off circuitry has leakage,
it will modify the skip adjust setup.

External Non−Latched Shutdown
Figure 40 illustrates the Feedback (pin 2) operation. An
external non−latched shutdown can be easily implemented
by simply pulling FB below the skip level. This is an
inherent feature from the standby skip operation. Hence, it
allows the designer to implement additional non−latched
shutdown protection.
