threshold voltage while the controller is running.
Graphic Cards
The Over-Current Protection (OCP) monitors the output
current by using the voltage drop across the upper
and lower MOSFET’s RDS(ON). When the output current
reaches the trip point, the controller will run the softstart function until the fault events are removed. The
Under-Voltage Protection (UVP) monitors the voltage
at FB pin (VFB) for short-circuit protection, when the
VFB is less than 50% of VREF, the controller will shutdown the IC directly.
ANPEC reserves the right to make changes to improve reliability or manufacturability without notice, and
advise customers to obtain the latest version of relevant information to verify before placing orders.
