From the calculated resistor values the OV and UV start up
threshold voltages can be calculated as follows:
UVON
= VUVH
= 1.26 =
VEEUV(on)
×
R2 + R3
R1 + R2 + R3
OVON
= VOVL
= 1.16 =
VEEOV(on)
×
R3
R1 + R2 + R3
Where |VEEUV(on)| and |VEEOV(on)| are Under & Over Voltage Start
Up Threshold points relative to VEE.
Then
VEEUV(on)
= 1.26 ×
R1 + R2 + R3
R2 + R3
VEEUV(on)
= 1.26 ×
487kΩ + 6.81kΩ + 9.76kΩ
6.81kΩ + 9.76kΩ
= 38.29V
And
VEEOV(on)
= 1.16 ×
R1 + R2 + R3
R3
VEEOV(on)
= 1.16 ×
487kΩ + 6.81kΩ + 9.76kΩ
9.76kΩ
= 59.85V
Therefore, the circuit will start when the input supply voltage is
in the range of 38.29V to 59.85V.

1. Choose circuit breaker trip point eg. 8A as follows
Rsense = 100mV = 100mV = 12.5mΩ

2. Choose inrush level, for example Inrush = 1A
3. Calculate Isink = Inrush *Rsense = 1A ×12.5mΩ = 2.5µA

4. Calculate C2 discharge limit
= 10µA -Isink = 7.5µA (typical) = iC2
4a. Adjust for Auto - retry disable, if used →
Max Vt of a typical
≅ Vtmax e.g. 4V = 1.6µA
R disable

power FET
⇒ e.g. iC2 = 10µA -Isink -1.6µA
In this example we assume Auto - retry is enabled so
ignore 1.6µA, ∴ iC2 = 10µA -Isink = 7.5µA

Note that RAMP is protected by AC divider and Gate
