Back to our 19 V adapter, we have found that the plateau
voltage on the auxiliary diode was 13 V in nominal
conditions. We have selected an NTC which offers a
resistance of 470 kW at 25°C and drops to 8.8 kW at 110°C.
If our auxiliary winding plateau is 14 V and we consider a
0.6 V forward drop for the diode, then the voltage across the
NTC in fault mode must be:
VNTC + 14 * 3 * 0.6 + 10.4 V
(eq. 17)
Based on the 8.8 kW NTC resistor at 110 °C, the current
through the device must be:

As such, the bottom resistor ROPPL, can easily be
calculated:

Now that the pulldown OPP resistor is known, we can
calculate the upper resistor value ROPPU to adjust the power
limit at the chosen output power level. Suppose we need a
200 mV decrease from the 0.8 V set point and the on−time
swing on the auxiliary anode is −67.5 V, then we need to drop
over ROPPU a voltage of:
VROPPU + 67.5 * 0.2 + 67.3 V
(eq. 20)
The current flowing in the pulldown resistor ROPPL in this
condition will be:

The ROPPU value is therefore easily derived:

Combining OVP and OTP
The OTP and Zener−based OVP can be combined
together as illustrated by Figure 50.
