operating, so that the converter will work intermittently, which is very safe. In case of

overload the system has a power capability lower than that at nominal load but the output

current may be quite high and overstress the output rectifier. In case of FF operation the

capability is almost unchanged and both short circuit and overload conditions are more

critical to handle.

The L6566A, regardless of the operating option selected, makes it easier to handle such

conditions: the 2 V clamp on the SS pin is removed and a second internal current generator

ISS2 = ISS1 /4 keeps on charging Css. As the voltage reaches 5 V the device is disabled, if it

is allowed to reach 2 VBE over 5 V, the device will be latched off. In the former case the

resulting behavior will be identical to that under short circuit illustrated in Figure 6 on

page 19

; in the latter case the result will be identical to that of Figure 20 on page 33.

See Section 5.9: Latched disable function on page 32 for additional details.

A diode, with the anode to the SS pin and the cathode connected to the VREF pin (10) is the

simplest way to select either auto-restart mode or latch-mode behavior upon overcurrent. If

the overload disappears before the Css voltage reaches 5 V the ISS2 generator will be

turned off and the voltage gradually brought back down to 2 V. Refer to the Section 6:

Application examples and ideas on page 44

section (Figure 7 on page 45) for additional

hints.

If latch-mode behavior is desired also for converter’s short circuit, make sure that the supply

voltage of the device does not fall below the UVLO threshold before activating the latch.

Figure 21

shows soft-start pin behavior under different operating conditions and with

different settings (latch-mode or autorestart).

Note:

Unlike other PWM controllers provided with a soft-start pin, in the L6566A grounding the SS

pin does not guarantee that the gate driver is disabled.
