Overvoltage limit (OV)
The overvoltage limit prevents the output voltage present across the load
to change beyond the programmed overvoltage limit. If the load effect
exceeds the programmed overvoltage limit, the CC output will be lowered
to maintain the output power across the load. The combination of the OV
and OVP protection functions create a closed loop circuit protection for
sensitive load behaviors.
Setting the OV level
The OV level can be programmed when the output is enabled (OUT) or
disabled (SBY). Ensure that the U3606A is operating in constant current
mode. (The CC annunciator is illuminated.)
