Supervision
The TLE 6210 and TL E 6211 are equipp ed with a c omplex supervis ion logi c. The input
voltage and the regulator output voltage is supervised. In addition two m-controller are
supervised by independent watchdog circuits.
4.9 O vervoltage an d Undervolt age
Both the supply voltage UZP and the output voltage UST are supervised for over- and
undervoltage.
In case any undervoltag e or overvolta ge conditio n at UST or UZP is detected, the reset
outputs RES1 a nd RES2 are switched t o low st ate. RES1 and R ES2 are not co ntrolled
by the watchdog logic.
To supervise the output voltage UST an independent bandgap from the reference
bandgap is used.
The reset outputs RES1 and RES2 are together controlled by the UST reset logic and
the supply undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and overvoltage lockout (OVLO).
A logic H igh at the RES1 a nd RES2 indic ates normal operat ion. The ou tputs are open
collector type outputs with integrated pull-up resistors to UST. Even when the UST
voltage drops, the reset outputs RES1 and RES2 remain low (< 0.4 V).
Both undervoltag e and overvoltage dete ction of UST and UZP use a vo ltage hys teresis
to avoid any reset toggling.
Undervoltage and Overvoltage Detection UST
The UST output voltage has to be externally connected to the USTS sense input.
To be able to detect als o wrong output vo ltages cause s by a malfuncti on of the related
bandgap reference for supervision an independent bandgap is used.
As soon as any reset condition is detected the RES1 and RES2 go low.
4.9.1 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) and Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO)
The supply voltage UZP is supervised as well. If the voltage rises above the upper
threshold value of 19.5 V reset is asserted. When an undervoltage occurs, after some
time the ou tput vol tage will drop bel ow the rese t thre shold and a res et is a sserted. The
undervoltage lockout is only valid during power up.
Both the OVLO and the UVLO threshold use a hysteresis to avoid reset glitches. In
addition the OVLO is digitally filtered. Overvoltage below 2 to 3 clock cycles (equals
typical 2 µs or 3 µs) are neglected to avoid resetting the system when any inductive load
is switched off.
