Line OV Only

Diode biased from BPP and provides

constant current into the VOLTAGE pin via

R2 above I

threshold, thus disabling UV

function of the IC.

Line UV Only

Zener clamps the voltage on R1-R2 node

and provides constant voltage above I

thresholds, thus disabling OV function of

the IC.

Fast AC Reset for IC with OV Latch

Function

Diode allows VOLTAGE pin to monitor line
voltage for OV/UV detection. A capacitor is
sized to filter the line ripple. C

must be

small to allow the VOLTAGE pin to
discharge fast enough to go below the

UV-

threshold in order to reset the latch.
