With MODE tied to GND, voltage across the feedback resistor is set at ~400mV via an internal reference. In either operating mode, if LED temperature control is enabled the value of VFB will be reduced when maximum LED temperature is exceeded.
Input Overvoltage
For automotive applications, an external high voltage NFET driven by the FAULT pin disconnects the device from the input supply in response to voltage spikes on the input supply. During start up an internal charge pump drives the FAULT pin above the input voltage, ensuring the NFET is fully enhanced and powering up the device. In normal operation the switching node of the boost regulator or the floating supply of the buck regulator is used to pump FAULT above VIN. On detection of an overvoltage, the FAULT pin is discharged to GND. The gate to source voltage of the NDMOS is internally limited to ±10V to prevent voltage stress.
FIGURE 5. OPERATION WITH ENL Fault Protection
The external NFET is also used as a fault protection switch, disconnecting the input supply if a fault occurs for more than 50ms. The system monitors feedback voltage regulation, output over-voltage and input over-voltage. In camera-flash mode, the fault switch disconnects the input supply when EN/PWM is held high longer than the 16ms flash time-out period. For applications not requiring input voltage or fault protection, connect VBAT and VIN directly together. All faults except input supply over-voltage latch the EL7801 into an off state that can be cleared by either power cycling the input supply or the EN/PWM pin. Connecting the TMAX pin to VDC disables the fault latch function (LED over temperature control is also disabled.)
