Additional load current can slow down the output volt-
age change during a positive REFIN1 voltage change,
and can speed up the output voltage change during a
negative REFIN1 voltage change.

Automatic Fault Blanking (SMPS1)

When the MAX17007A/MAX17008 detect that the inter-
nal target and REFIN1 are more than ±50mV (typ)
apart, the controller automatically blanks PGOOD1,

blanks the UVP protection, and sets the OVP threshold
to max REF + 300mV. The blanking remains until 1) the
internal target and REFIN1 are within ±50mV of each
other, and 2) an edge is detected on the error amplifier
signifying that the output is in regulation. This prevents
the system or internal fault protection from shutting down
the controller during transitions. Figure 11 shows the
dynamic REFIN1 transition (SKIP = GND) and Figure 12
shows the dynamic REFIN1 transition (SKIP = REF).
