About CONT pin

Referring to the

Figure 23, through the CONT pin, the below features can be implemented:

1.

Current limit set point

2.

Overvoltage protection on the converter output voltage

The

Table 9 on page 20 referring to the Figure 23, lists the external components needed to

activate one or plus of the CONT pin functions.

Feed-back and overload protection (OLP)

controls the burst mode and actives the overload protection.

Figure 24 on page 22 and

Figure 25 show the internal current mode structure.

current is sensed and converted in voltage that is applied to the non inverting pin of the

PWM comparator. See

Figure 2 on page 3.

This voltage is compared with the one on the feedback pin through a voltage divider on

cycle by cycle basis. When these two voltages are equal, the PWM logic orders the switch

In case of overload the feedback pin increases in reaction to this event and when it goes

the OCP comparator, see

Figure 2 on page 3.
