Monitoring and protections

8.1

Power Good signals

The PM6681A provides three independent Power Good signals: one for each switching

section (PGOOD1/PGOOD2).

PGOOD1/PGOOD2 signals are low if the output voltage is out of ± 10 % of the designed set

point or during the soft-start, standby and shutdown mode.

8.2

Thermal protection

The PM6681A has a thermal protection to preserve the device from overheating. The

thermal shutdown occurs when the die temperature goes above +150 °C. In this case all

internal circuitry is turned off and the power sections are turned off after the discharge

mode.

A power on reset or a toggle on the SHDN pin is necessary to restart the device.

8.3

Overvoltage protection

When the switching output voltage goes over the OVP threshold (about 116 % of its nominal

value), the low side MOSFET turns on. The LS MOSFET is kept on until the output voltage

returns under the OVP threshold.

8.4

Undervoltage protection

When the switching output voltage is below 70 % of its nominal value, a latched

undervoltage protection occurs. In this case the switching section is immediately disabled

and both switches are open. The controller enters in soft-end mode and the output is

eventually kept to ground, turning low side MOSFET on. The undervoltage circuit protection

is enabled only at the end of the soft-start. Once an overvoltage protection has been

detected, a toggle on SHDN, EN1/EN2 pin or a power on reset is necessary to clear the

undervoltage fault and starts with a new soft-start phase.
