4. Protection Circuits: The FSGM0465R has several
self-protective functions, such as Overload Protection
(OLP), Abnormal Over-Current Protection (AOCP),
Output-Short Protection (OSP), Over-Voltage Protection
(OVP),
protections are implemented as auto-restart. Once the
fault condition is detected, switching is terminated and
the SenseFET remains off. This causes V

reaches the start voltage of 12.0V, the FSGM0465R
resumes normal operation. If the fault condition is not
removed, the SenseFET remains off and V
stop voltage again. In this manner, the auto-restart can
alternately enable and disable the switching of the
power SenseFET until the fault condition is eliminated.
Because these protection circuits are fully integrated
into the IC without external components, the reliability is
improved without increasing cost.
4.1 Overload Protection (OLP): Overload is defined
as the load current exceeding its normal level due to
an unexpected abnormal event. In this situation, the
protection circuit should trigger to protect the SMPS.
However, even when the SMPS is in normal
operation, the overload protection circuit can be
triggered during the load transition. To avoid this
undesired operation, the overload protection circuit is
designed to trigger only after a specified time to
determine whether it is a transient situation or a true
overload situation. Because of the pulse-by-pulse
current limit capability, the maximum peak current
through the SenseFET is limited and, therefore, the
maximum input power is restricted with a given input
voltage. If the output consumes more than this
maximum power, the output voltage (V
below the set voltage. This reduces the current
through the opto-coupler LED, which also reduces
the opto-coupler transistor current, thus increasing
the feedback voltage (V

implemented in auto-restart mode.
4.2 Abnormal Over-Current Protection (AOCP):
When
transformer pins are shorted, a steep current with
extremely high di/dt can flow through the SenseFET
during the minimum turn-on time. Even though the
FSGM0465R has overload protection, it is not
enough to protect the FSGM0465R in that abnormal
case; since severe current stress is imposed on the
SenseFET until OLP is triggered. The FSGM0465R
internal AOCP circuit is shown in Figure 21. When
the gate turn-on signal is applied to the power
SenseFET, the AOCP block is enabled and monitors
the current through the sensing resistor. The voltage
across the resistor is compared with a preset AOCP
level. If the sensing resistor voltage is greater than
the AOCP level, the set signal is applied to the S-R
latch, resulting in the shutdown of the SMPS.
