5.8.6 Output Open Circuit Protection
Output open circuit protection and output overvoltage
protection (OVP) are implemented by monitoring the output
voltage through the second-stage inductor auxiliary winding.
Overvoltage protection is enabled by setting bit OVP to ‘0’ in
register Config47 (see "Configuration 47 (Config47) – Address
79" on page 41). If the voltage on the FBAUX pin exceeds a
threshold (V_OVP(th)) of 1.25V during the time the second stage
gate drive is turned ‘OFF’ and outside of the blanking window
configured by bit OVP_TYPE and bits OVP_BLANK[2:0] in
register Config50 (see "Configuration 50 (Config50) – Address
82" on page 43), then the OVP event accumulator is
incremented by 1 before the start of the next switching cycle.
If the OVP comparator threshold is not exceeded during the
switching cycle, the event accumulator is decremented by 1. If
the event accumulator count exceeds or equals the count set
by bits OVP_CNT[2:0] in register Config50 then an OVP fault
is declared and enters a fault state.
The fault state is latched if bit OVP_LAT in register Config50
is set high. The OVP fault state is not cleared until the power
to the IC is recycled. Otherwise, if bit OVP_LAT is set low, the
system is restarted after a specified amount of time configured
by using the bit FAULT_SLOW and bits RESTART[5:0] in
register Config51 (see "Configuration 51 (Config51) – Address
83" on page 43). The fault behavior during the fault state
initiated by this protection depends on the setting for bit
FAULT_SHDN in register Config51.
5.8.7 Overcurrent Protection
Overcurrent protection (OCP) is implemented by monitoring
the voltage across the second-stage sense resistor.
Overcurrent protection is enabled by setting bit OCP to ‘0’ in
register Config47 (see "Configuration 47 (Config47) – Address
79" on page 41). If this voltage exceeds a threshold (V_OCP(th))
of 1.69V during the time the second stage gate drive is turned
‘ON’ and outside of the blanking window configured by bits
OCP_BLANK[2:0] in register Config48 (see "Configuration 48
(Config48) – Address 80" on page 42), then the OCP event
accumulator is incremented by 1 after the gate drive turns
‘OFF’. If the OCP comparator threshold is not exceeded
during this time, the event accumulator is decremented by 1.
If the event accumulator count exceeds or equals the count
set by bits OCP_CNT[2:0] in register Config49 (see
"Configuration 49 (Config49) – Address 81" on page 42) then
an OCP fault is declared and enters a fault state.
The fault state is latched if bit OCP_LAT in register Config49
is set high. The OCP fault state is not cleared until the power
to the IC is recycled. Otherwise, if bit OCP_LAT is set low, the
system is restarted after a specified amount of time configured
by using the bit FAULT_SLOW and bits RESTART[5:0] in
register Config51 (see "Configuration 51 (Config51) – Address
83" on page 43). The fault behavior during the fault state
initiated by this protection depends on the setting for bit
FAULT_SHDN in register Config51.
5.8.8 Open Loop Protection
Open loop protection (OLP) and sense resistor short
protection are implemented by monitoring the voltage across
the sense resistor. Open loop protection is enabled by setting
bit OLP to ‘0’ in register Config47 (see "Configuration 47
(Config47) – Address 79" on page 41). If the voltage on pin
FBSENSE does not reach the protection threshold (V_OLP(th))
of 200mV during a 250ns scan period after the second stage
gate drive is turned ‘ON’ and the blanking window configured
by bits OLP_BLANK[2:0] in register Config48 (see
"Configuration 48 (Config48) – Address 80" on page 42) has
elapsed, then the OLP event accumulator is incremented by 1.
If the OLP comparator threshold is exceeded during this time,
the event accumulator is decremented by 1. If the event
accumulator count exceeds or equals the count set by bits
OLP_CNT[2:0] in register Config49 (see "Configuration 49
(Config49) – Address 81" on page 42) then an OLP fault is
declared and enters a fault state.
The fault state is latched if bit OCP_LAT in register Config49
is set high. The OLP fault state is not cleared until the power
to the IC is recycled. Otherwise, if bit OLP_LAT is set low, the
system is restarted after a specified amount of time configured
by using the bit FAULT_SLOW and bits RESTART[5:0] in
register Config51 (see "Configuration 51 (Config51) – Address
83" on page 43). The fault behavior during the fault state
initiated by this protection depends on the setting for bit
FAULT_SHDN in register Config51.
5.9 Overtemperature Protection
The CS1630/31 incorporates an internal overtemperature
protection (iOTP) circuit for IC protection and the circuitry
required to connect an external overtemperature protection
(eOTP) device. Typically, an NTC thermistor is used.
5.9.1 Internal Overtemperature Protection
Internal overtemperature protection (iOTP) is activated and
power switching devices are disabled when the die
temperature of the CS1630/31 exceeds 135°C. A hysteresis
of about 7°C occurs before resuming normal operation.
5.9.2 External Overtemperature Protection
The external overtemperature protection (eOTP) pin is used to
implement overtemperature protection using an external
negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, R_NTC. The
total resistance on the eOTP pin is converted to an 8-bit digital
‘CODE’ (which gives an indication of the temperature) using a
digital feedback loop that adjusts the current (I_CONNECT) into
the NTC and series resistor, R_S, to maintain a constant
reference voltage of 1.25V (V_CONNECT(th)). Figure 21
