Application information

33/51

This function is useful to implement a latched overtemperature protection very easily by

biasing the pin with a divider from VREF, where the upper resistor is an NTC physically

located close to a heating element like the MOSFET, or the transformer. The DIS pin is a

high impedance input, thus it is prone to pick up noise, which might give origin to undesired

latch-off of the device. It is possible to bypass the pin to ground with a small film capacitor

(e.g. 1-10 nF) to prevent any malfunctioning of this kind.

Soft-start and delayed latched shutdown upon overcurrent

At device start-up, a capacitor (Css) connected between the SS pin (14) and ground is

charged by an internal current generator, ISS1, from zero up to about 2V where it is clamped.

During this ramp, the overcurrent setpoint progressively rises from zero to the value

imposed by the voltage on the VFF pin (15, see Section 5.6: PWM comparator, PWM latch

and voltage feedforward blocks on page 27

); MOSFET’s conduction time increases

gradually, hence controlling the start-up inrush current. The time needed for the overcurrent

setpoint to reach its steady state value, referred to as soft-start time, is approximately:

Equation 12

During the ramp (i.e. until VSS = 2 V) all the functions that monitor the voltage on pin COMP

are disabled.
