HV startup circuit turns on and begins to operate periodically in order to keep VCC between

VCCON and VCCON-0.5 V (Figure 21) maintaining the IC latched.

If R37 is shorted, the impedance externally connected to pin #15 (VFF) is lower and the

voltage in case of OVP cannot reach the 5+2VBE threshold, so the L6566A restarts after

VCC has dropped below 5 V (Figure 22). In case of L6566A OVP intervention, the L6563S

operation is also stopped because the L6566A stops the PFC via the Vcc_PFC pin.

Additionally, to improve the immunity against temporary disturbances (needed for example

in case of immunity tests), an internal logic activates the protection after the OVP has been

detected for 4 consecutive switching cycles.
