PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS53318 and TPS53319 devices have a redundant input for OVP protection. The ROVP pin senses the voltage divided from output voltage and sends it to the OVP comparator. If this voltage is higher than 120% of the target voltage, the overvoltage protection engages and the low-side FET is turned on. When the output voltage is lower than the UVP threshold then the device latches off.
This redundant OVP function typically protects against a situation where the feedback loop is open or where a VFB pin short to GND exists. The ROVP pin has an internal 1.5-MΩ pulldown resistor.
For an application that does not require a redundant OVP feature, tie the ROVP pin to GND. Do not leave ROVP pin floating.
