A8514
Fault protection during operation
The A8514 constantly monitors the state of the system to deter-
mine if any fault conditions occur during normal operation. The
response to a triggered fault condition is summarized in the Fault
Mode table.
The possible fault conditions that the device can detect are: Open
LED pin, LED pin shorted to ground, shorted inductor, V
short to ground, SW pin shorted to ground, ISET pin shorted to

LED drivers, and boost. The Fault flag is set. To re-
enable the device, the PWM/EN pin must be pulled
low for 32,750 clock cycles.
The device is immediately shut off if the voltage
across the input sense resistor is 2X the preset
current value. The Fault flag is set. If the input
current limit is between 1X and 2X, the Fault flag is
set but the IC will continue to operate normally for

Secondary overvoltage protection is used for open
diode detection. When diode D1 opens, the SW pin
voltage will increase until V
fault latches the IC. The input disconnect switch is
disabled as well as the LED drivers, and the Fault
flag is set. To re-enable the part the PWM pin must
be pulled low for 32,750 clock cycles.
