7.1 Overview
7.1.1 COT Control Circuit Overview
Constant ON-time control is based on a comparator and an ON-time one-shot, with the output voltage feedback
compared to an internal 0.8-V reference. If the feedback voltage is below the reference, the high-side MOSFET
is turned on for a fixed ON-time determined by a programming resistor R_ON. R_ON is connected to V_IN such that
ON-time is reduced with increasing input supply voltage. Following this ON-time, the high-side MOSFET remains
off for a minimum of 260 ns. If the voltage on the feedback pin falls below the reference level again the ON-time
cycle is repeated. Regulation is achieved in this manner.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Output Overvoltage Comparator
The voltage at FB is compared to a 0.92-V internal reference. If FB rises above 0.92 V the ON-time is
immediately terminated. This condition is known as overvoltage protection (OVP). It can occur if the input voltage
is increased very suddenly or if the output load is decreased very suddenly. Once OVP is activated, the top
MOSFET ON-times will be inhibited until the condition clears. Additionally, the synchronous MOSFET will remain
on until inductor current falls to zero.
7.3.2 Current Limit
Current limit detection is carried out during the OFF-time by monitoring the current in the synchronous MOSFET.
Referring to the Functional Block Diagram, when the top MOSFET is turned off, the inductor current flows
through the load, the PGND pin and the internal synchronous MOSFET. If this current exceeds 4.2 A (typical) the
current limit comparator disables the start of the next ON-time period. The next switching cycle will occur only if
the FB input is less than 0.8 V and the inductor current has decreased below 4.2 A. Inductor current is monitored
during the period of time the synchronous MOSFET is conducting. So long as inductor current exceeds 4.2 A,
further ON-time intervals for the top MOSFET will not occur. Switching frequency is lower during current limit due
to the longer OFF-time.
