There is a cycle by cycle current limiting realised by the

The frequency of the oscillator is depending on the
voltage at pin FB. The dependence is shown in Figure

lower frequency at light loads thus lowering the
switching losses while maintaining good cross
regulation performance and low output ripple. In case
of low power the power consumption of the whole t

the Current-Limit Comparator cannot switch off the

3.5.2 Propagation Delay Compensation off time

In case of overcurrent detection the shut down of the
external Power Switch is delayed due to the VSense
propagation delay of the circuit. This delay causes an Propagation Delay t

the ratio of dI/dt of the peak current (see Figure 14). Vcsth

The detection is activated by C4 when the voltage at T R es ta rt

the Soft-Start Phase. After this phase the comparator
C3 can set the Error-Latch in case of open loop or

Figure 22 Overvoltage Detection

The overvoltage detection is provided by Comparator
C1 only in the first time during the Auto Restart Mode
till the Soft-Start voltage exceeds the threshold of the
Comparator C2 at 4.0V and the voltage at pin FB is
above 4.8V. When VCC exceeds 16.5V during the
overvoltage detection phase C1 can set the Error-Latch
and the Burst Phase during Auto Restart Mode is
finished earlier. In that case TBurst2 is shorter than TSoft-
Start . By means of C2 the normal operation mode is
prevented from overvoltage detection due to varying of
VCC concerning the regulation of the converter output.
When the voltage VSoftS is above 4.0V the overvoltage
detection by C1 is deactivated.

3.8.3 Thermal Shut Down

Thermal Shut Down is latched by the Error-Latch when
junction temperature Tj of the pwm controller is
exceeding an internal threshold of 140°C. In that case
the IC switches in Auto Restart Mode.
