PRODUCTION DATA
The TLVM13640 is protected from overcurrent conditions using cycle-by-cycle current limiting of the peak inductor current. The current is compared every switching cycle to the current limit threshold. During an overcurrent condition, the output voltage decreases.
The TLVM13640 employs hiccup overcurrent protection if there is an extreme overload. In hiccup mode, the TLVM13640 module is shut down and kept off for 80 ms (typical) before a restart is attempted. If an overcurrent or short-circuit fault condition still exists, hiccup repeats until the fault condition is removed. Hiccup mode reduces power dissipation under severe overcurrent conditions, thus preventing overheating and potential damage to the device. Once the fault is removed, the module automatically recovers and returns to normal operation.
