8.3.2.5 Current Limiting

A current limit feature allows the converter to protect itself and external components during overload conditions. PWM mode implements current limiting using an internal comparator that trips at 1.5 A for Buck1 and at 1 A for Buck2 (typical). If the output is shorted to ground the device enters a timed current limit mode where the NFET is turned on for a longer duration until the inductor current falls below a low threshold, ensuring inductor current has more time to decay, thereby preventing runaway.
