Functional Description
3.4.2 Soft Over Current Control (SOC)
The IC is designed not to support any output power
that corresponds to a voltage lower than -0.75V at the
ISENSE pin. A further increase in the inductor current,
which results in a lower ISENSE voltage, will activate
the Soft Over Current Control (SOC). This is a soft
control as it does not directly switch off the gate drive.
It acts on the nonlinear gain block to result in a reduced
PWM duty cycle.

3.4.3 Peak Current Limit (PCL)
The IC provides a cycle by cycle peak current limitation
(PCL). It is active when the voltage at pin 3 (ISENSE)
reaches -1.04V. This voltage is amplified by OP1 by a
factor of -1.43 and connected to comparator C2 with a
reference voltage of 1.5V as shown in Figure 9. A
deglitcher with 300ns after the comparator improves
noise immunity to the activation of this protection.

3.4.4 Open Loop Protection (OLP)
Whenever VSENSE voltage falls below 0.6V, or
equivalently VOUT falls below 20% of its rated value, it
indicates an open loop condition (i.e. VSENSE pin not
connected) or an insufficient input voltage VIN for
normal operation. In this case, most of the blocks within
the IC will be shutdown. It is implemented using
comparator C3 with a threshold of 0.6V as shown in the
IC block diagram in Figure 2.
3.4.5 Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
Whenever VOUT exceeds the rated value by 5%, the
over-voltage protection OVP is active as shown in
Figure 6. This is implemented by sensing the voltage at
pin VSENSE with respect to a reference voltage of
3.15V. A VSENSE voltage higher than 3.15V will
immediately reduce the output duty cycle, bypassing
the normal voltage loop control. This results in a lower
input power to reduce the output voltage VOUT. A
VSENSE voltage higher than 3.25V will immediately
turn off the gate, thereby preventing damage to bus
capacitor.
3.5 Fixed Switching Frequency
ICE2PCS04/G has an internally fixed switching
frequency as opposed to the ICE2PCS01/G which can
be externally set. This frequency is trimmed to 133kHz
with an accuracy ±5% at 25oC.
