7.1.4 Overcurrent Protection for HTSSOP-20 Package

When the switch current reaches the current limit value, the switch current is turned off immediately. This action effectively reduces the duty cycle and therefore the output voltage dips and continues to droop until the output load matches the peak current limit inductor current. As the FB voltage drops below 480 mV, the operating frequency begins to decrease until the operating frequency hits full on frequency foldback, which is set to approximately 300 kHz . Frequency foldback helps reduce the thermal stress in the device by reducing the switching losses and to prevent runaway of the inductor current when the output is shorted to ground.

Note that when recovering from a overcurrent condition, the converter does not go through the soft-start process. There can be an overshoot due to the sudden removal of the overcurrent fault. The reference voltage at the non-inverting input of the error amplifier always sits at 0.8 V during the overcurrent condition, therefore, when the fault is removed, the converter brings the FB voltage back to 0.8 V as quickly as possible. The overshoot depends on whether there is a load on the output after the removal of the overcurrent fault, the size of the inductor, and the amount of capacitance on the output. The smaller the inductor and the larger the capacitance on the output, the smaller the overshoot.

Note:

Overcurrent protection for each output is independent.
