8.1.10 Restart After OVP Event

After the OVP function has been activated and the gate of the external N-Channel MOSFET has been pulled low, the OUT pin is likely to be low as well. However, an OVP condition will not cause the V_DS Fault Comparator to latch off of the LM5060 because the capacitor on the TIMER pin is also discharged during an OVP event. After the OVP pin falls below the lower threshold (typically 1.76 V), the LM5060 will re-start as described in the normal start-up sequence and shown in Figure 21. The EN, VIN, or UVLO pins do not need to be toggled low to high to re-enable the MOSFET after an OVP event.
