UVP and OVP protect the system from low bulk voltages
and rapid operating point changes respectively, while the
FPP protects the system against floating feedback pin
conditions. If FPP is not implemented and a manufacturing
error causes the feedback pin to float, then the feedback
voltage is dependent on the coupling within the system and
the surrounding environment. The coupled feedback
voltage may be within the regulation limits (i.e. above the
UVP threshold, but below V
REF
) and cause the controller
to deliver excessive power. The result is that the output
voltage rises until a component fails due to the voltage
stress.
The tradeoff for including FPP is that the value of R
FB
causes an error in the output voltage. The output voltage
including the error caused by R
FB
(V

) is calculated
using Equation 16:

The error caused by R

. The parallel combination of R

Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
A dedicated pin on the NCP1607 senses the peak current
and limits the driver on time if this current exceeds
V
CS(limit)
. This level is 0.5 V (typical). Therefore, the
maximum peak current can be adjusted by changing R
SENSE
according to:

(eq. 20)
An internal LEB filter (Figure 38) reduces the likelihood
of switching noise falsely triggering the OCP limit. This
filter blanks out the first 250 ns (typical) of the current
sense signal. If additional filtering is necessary, a small RC
filter can be added between R
SENSE
and the CS pin.
