Working Principles

The LTC2960HDC-1 operates by comparing the input voltage with the adjustable threshold voltage set using the TH pin. When the input voltage exceeds the programmed threshold, the FLT pin is activated, indicating an overvoltage condition. Similarly, when the input voltage falls below the threshold, the FLT pin indicates an undervoltage condition. The IC continuously monitors the input voltage and updates the fault output accordingly.
