The device incorporates an output OVP circuit to minimize output voltage overshoot. When the output is overloaded, the error amplifier compares the actual output voltage to the internal reference voltage. If the FB pin voltage is lower than the internal reference voltage for a considerable time, the output of the error amplifier demands maximum output current. After the condition is removed, the regulator output rises and the error amplifier output transitions to the steady-state voltage. In some applications with small output capacitance, the load can respond faster than the error amplifier. This leads to the possibility of an output overshoot. Each buck compares the FB pin voltage to the OVP threshold. If the FB pin voltage is greater than the OVP threshold, the high-side MOSFET is turned off preventing current from flowing to the output and minimizing output overshoot. When the FB voltage drops lower than the OVP threshold, the high-side MOSFET turns on at the next clock cycle.
