Overcurrent protection
The overcurrent feature protects the converter from a shorted output or overload, by sensing
the output current information across the low side MOSFET drain-source on-resistance,
R
expensive and space-consuming sense resistors.
The low side R
node when LS MOSFET is turned on with the programmed OCP threshold voltage,
internally held. If the monitored voltage drop (GND to PHASE) exceeds this threshold, an
overcurrent event is detected. If two overcurrent events are detected in two consecutive
switching cycles, the protection will be triggered and the device will turn off both LS and HS
MOSFETs for 2048 clock cycles (plus internal SS remaining time, if triggered during a SS
phase); then it will begin a new soft-start.
If the overcurrent condition is not removed, the continuous fault will cause L6727 to go into a
hiccup mode with a typical period of 13.6 ms
and very low power dissipation.
Overcurrent threshold setting
When supplied with VCC = 5 V, L6727 allows to easily program an overcurrent threshold
ranging from 50 mV to 500 mV, simply by adding a resistor (R
VCC.
During a short period of time (5.5 ms - 6.5 ms) following the first enable (given VCC over
UVLO threshold), an internal 60µA current (I
voltage drop across R
COMP, divided by a factor 3, will be sampled and internally held by the device as Over
Current Threshold until next VCC cycling. Differential sensing versus VCC allows OCSET
procedure to be fully independent from VIN rail. The OC setting procedure overall time
length ranges from 5.5 ms to 6.5 ms, proportionally to the threshold being set.
