The Latch pin is dedicated to the latch−off function: it
includes two levels of detection that define a working
window, between a high latch and a low latch: within these
two thresholds, the controller is allowed to run; but as soon
as either the low or the high threshold is crossed, the
controller is latched off. The lower threshold is intended to
be used with an NTC thermistor, thanks to an internal current
source I_NTC.
An active clamp prevents the voltage from reaching the
high threshold if it is only pulled up by the I_NTC current. To
reach the high threshold, the pull−up current has to be higher
than the pull−down capability of the clamp (typically
1.5 mA at V_OVP).
To avoid any false triggering, spikes shorter than 50 ms
(for the high latch) or 350 ms (for the low latch) are blanked
and only longer signals can actually latch the controller.
Reset occurs when a brown−out condition is detected or
the V_CC is cycled down to a reset voltage, which in a real
application can only happen if the power supply is
unplugged from the AC line.
Upon start−up, the internal references take some time
before being at their nominal values; so one of the
comparators could toggle even if it should not. Therefore the
internal logic does not take the latch signal into account
before the controller is ready to start: once V_CC reaches
V_CC(on), the latch pin High latch state is taken into account
