respectively. PGood signal is high whenever Vsns

voltage is within the PGood comparator window

thresholds. Hysteresis has been applied to the lower

threshold, PGood signal goes low when Vsns drops

below VPG_low(lower) instead of VPG_high(lower).

The PGood pin is open drain and it needs to be

externally pulled high. High state indicates that output

is in regulation. Figure 19 show the timing diagram of

the PGood signal. Vsns signal is also used by OVP

condition. PGood signal is low when Enable is low.

OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)

Over-voltage protection in IR3447 is achieved by

comparing sense pin voltage Vsns to a pre-set

threshold. When Vsns exceeds the over voltage

threshold, an over voltage trip signal asserts after 2.5

uS (typ.) delay. The high side drive signal HDrv is

latched off immediately and PGood flags are set low.

The low side drive signal is kept on until the Vsns

voltage drops below the threshold.

HDrv remains

latched off until a reset is performed by cycling VCC.

OVP is active when enable is high or low.

Vsns voltage is set by the voltage divider connected to

the output and it can be programmed externally.

Figure 20 shows the timing diagram for OVP.

BODY BRAKING

The Body Braking feature of the IR3447 allows

improved transient response for step-down load

transients. A severe step-down load transient would

cause an overshoot in the output voltage and drive the

Comp pin voltage down until control saturation occurs

demanding 0% duty cycle and the PWM input to the

Control FET driver is kept OFF. When the first such

skipped pulse occurs, the IR3447 enters Body Braking

mode, wherein the Sync FET also turned OFF. The

inductor current then decays by freewheeling through

the body diode of the Sync FET. Thus, with Body

Braking, the forward voltage drop of the body diode

provides and additional voltage to discharge the

inductor current faster to the light load value as shown

in equation (3) and equation (4) below:

The Body Braking mechanism is kept OFF during pre-

bias operation. Also, in the event of an extremely

severe load step-down transient causing OVP, the
