Parameters description
3.1
General system configuration
3.1.1
Shutdown feature
Size: 1 bit
Enables / disables the shutdown comparator connected to the LLC_FB pin.
Available values are:
•
Disabled
•
Enabled
The shutdown comparator is connected to the LLC_FB pin. Its threshold is 125 mV. If the pin is brought below this
threshold, and the comparator is enabled, the system will shut down as long as the pin's voltage remains below
the threshold.
This feature can be used to realize extra protections (e.g. OTP protection for power stage).
Use
It is suggested to disable the shutdown comparator if it is not used.
3.1.2
Patch upload from EEPROM
Size:1 bit
Enables / disables the patching feature. Available values are:
•
Disabled
•
Enabled
If patching is disabled the STNRG011A will not upload the patch from the external EEPROM.
Use
The default value is disabled (i.e. patching disabled). The user has to maintain the patching feature disabled if no
EEPROM is installed on the application.
3.1.3
ATE mode
Size:1 bit
Enables / disables the ATE mode. Available values are:
•
Enabled
•
Disabled
Use
The ATE mode is required to read/write the NVM. Therefore, this parameter should be set to “Enabled”.
In case, after the correct programming of all NVM parameters, the user wants to keep such information protected,
he can disable the ATE mode.
Warning:
Once the bit will be set to disabled, it will be impossible to access the NVM.
3.1.4
System monitoring
Size:1 bit
Enables / disables the system monitoring. Available values are:
•
Enabled
•
Disabled
Monitoring is the periodic unidirectional communication through the UART interface used by the STNRG011A to
send out information (including the power estimation, PFC operating mode, etc.). If this feature is not requested,
the user can disable it and stop the activity on the UART interface.
