The MAX8686 provides output overvoltage protection
(OVP). The OVP threshold is set at 20% above the set
output voltage. When the overvoltage condition is expe-
rienced, the output is latched to PGND through the low-
side MOSFET. To clear the latch, the EN/SLOPE input
should be pulled logic-low and then reinitialized. The
output starts up in a soft-start mode. To prevent the
overvoltage protection from initializing during power-up,
some consideration should be given to the soft-start
timing to reduce the inrush current. In addition, the
proper compensation network would prevent overshoot
during power-up.

POK is an open-drain output that monitors the output volt-
age. When the output is above 90% of its nominal regula-
tion voltage, POK goes high impedance. There is a 3%
hysteresis to prevent the POK output from chattering. The
POK indicator can be used for sequencing.
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipa-
tion in the MAX8686. When the junction temperature
exceeds +160°C, an internal thermal sensor shuts
down the device, allowing it to cool down. The thermal
sensor turns the device on again after the junction tem-
perature cools by 30°C, resulting in a pulsed output
during continuous thermal-overload conditions. See
Figures 2, 3, and 4.
