OVER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT (OVLO)
The LM3424 can be configured to detect an output (or input)
over-voltage condition via the OVP pin. The pin features a
precision 1.24V threshold with 20 µA (typical) of hysteresis
current as shown in
exceeded, the GATE pin is immediately pulled low and a 20
µA current source provides hysteresis to the lower threshold
of the OVLO hysteretic band.

INPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)
The nDIM pin is a dual-function input that features an accurate
1.24V threshold with programmable hysteresis as shown in
Figure
for the LEDs and as a V
and exceeds the 1.24V threshold, 20 µA (typical) of current is
driven out of the nDIM pin into the resistor divider providing
programmable hysteresis.
When using the nDIM pin for UVLO and PWM dimming con-
currently, the UVLO circuit can have an extra series resistor
to set the hysteresis. This allows the standard resistor divider
to have smaller resistor values minimizing PWM delays due
to a pull-down MosFET at the nDIM pin (see PWM Dimming
section). In general, at least 3V of hysteresis is preferable
when PWM dimming, if operating near the UVLO threshold.
