7.7 Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
Protection against over temperature is provided by an internal thermal shutdown
incorporated into the control circuit. When the control circuit die temperature exceeds the
upper thermal trip level, both MOSFETs are switched off and the internal VDDG regulator
disabled. This state continues until the die temperature falls below the lower trip
temperature. This function is only operational when VDDC is above the UVLO level.
7.8 Am I Switching (AIS)
The AIS flag is designed for use with lost phase detection circuitry. During normal
operation (i.e. when PRDY and DISABLE are HIGH and VI is either HIGH or LOW), the
AIS pin is pulled LOW if no voltage transients have been detected on the VO pin for a
period of approximately 40 µs. If DISABLE is LOW or the driver is in 3-state mode, the AIS
pin will become floating (open drain) irrespective of any previous state. False signals
during start-up are prevented by activating this function approximately 200 µs after either
the DISABLE pin becoming HIGH or the driver leaving the 3-state mode.
7.9 Disable
This is the disable or enable function of the driver. Pulling the DISABLE pin LOW switches
off both MOSFETs, disables the REG5V output, and makes the AIS flag open drain. This
pin is internally pulled LOW whilst VDDC remains below the UVLO threshold. Once VDDC
exceeds the UVLO threshold, this pin is pulled HIGH by an internal resistor. In this way the
driver will enable itself unless there is an external pull down. In multiphase applications,
connecting the DISABLE pins of multiple PIP212-12M devices together will ensure that all
devices will only become enabled when the voltage on the VDDC pins of all of the devices
has exceeded the UVLO threshold; see Figure 10.
7.10 Reg5V
This function provides a low current regulated 5 V output voltage suitable for providing
power to a PWM controller. It is operational when both PRDY and DISABLE are HIGH.
Operation as a 5 V power supply is only guaranteed when VDDC is > 7 V. This pin can also
be used as part of an enable function for a PWM controller; this ensures that the PWM is
enabled only when the PIP212-12M is fully operational (i.e. both PRDY and DISABLE are
HIGH).
