Actually our concern with this E- Fuse is related to the Under voltage and overvoltage detection. We require Vin(UV) = 4.376V, Vin(OV) = 5.228V. When calculating this UV, OV voltage by considering the tolerance in the Rising and falling threshold voltages and the tolerance in the voltage dividing resistors(10% tolerance) we observed some difference in the Over voltage and Under voltage.
We calculated the best and worst case conditions in UV, OV by considering the OV(Threshold), UV(Threshold) hysteresis tolerance and resistor tolerances.

| Vin(UV) | 4.3751 V | ||

We are getting UV voltage worst condition as 4.983V in rising and 4.254V in falling .

We are getting OV voltage worst condition as 5.411V in rising and 4.938V in falling .
This error difference will impact our actual design requirement.
Hi Kunal,
We replaced the same resistors with 1% tolerance. Now we are getting results like this on the OV and UV.
Vin(UV) =((Vuv*(R1+R2))/R2)
Vuv(fall) = 1.09V
R1= 390K
R2= 129.4K
Vin(UVfall) = 4.376 V(TYP)
Expected change in Vin(UV) due to tolerance in Res and Threshold voltage
Vin(UVris) = 4.678 V(MIN)
Vin(UVris) = 4.98 V(MAX)
Vin(UVfall) = 4.25 V(MIN)
Vin(UVfall) = 4.54 V(MAX)
Vin(OV) =((Vov*(R3+R4))/R4)
Vov(ris) = 1.2V
R3= 470K
R4= 140K
Vin(OVris) = 5.228 V(TYP)
Expected change in Vin(OV) due to tolerance in Res and Threshold voltage
Vin(OVris) = 5.076 V(MIN)
Vin(OVris) = 5.412 V(MAX)
Vin(OVfall) = 4.62 V(MIN)
Vin(OVfall) = 4.94 V(MAX)
We are having one concern on the Overvoltage and under voltage protection in our practical use case. The input to this E-fuse is from typical type-C adapter. Typical USB spec is 5V ±5%, so we might see 4.75V to 5.25V at turn on. The upper value may trigger OVris and the lower value may fail to satisfy UVris.
Please verify that our design can provide stable operation on the 4.75 to 5.25 voltage ranges.
