Article MAX16050 Overvoltage Detection Response

Question:
Could you tell me the response of the MAX16050/MAX16051 to an OV on a monitored rail?  It says it sets the OV interrupt output, but we want to make sure it doesn’t also shutdown.

Answer:
An overvoltage detection will cause the OV_OUT\ open drain output to assert low, but will not cause OUT to go low (the channel will not be shut off).
