PRODUCTION DATA
The device has an out-of-bounds (OOB) overvoltage protection that protects the output load at a much lower overvoltage threshold of 5% above the VINTREF voltage. OOB protection does not trigger an overvoltage fault, so the device is on non-latch mode after an OOB event. OOB protection operates as an early no-fault overvoltage-protection mechanism. During the OOB operation, the controller operates in forced CCM mode. Turning on the low-side FET beyond the zero inductor current quickly discharges the output capacitor, thus helps the output voltage to fall quickly towards the setpoint. During the operation, the cycle-by-cycle negative current limit is also activated to ensure the safe operation of the internal FETs.
