PRODUCTION DATA
The TLVM1440x 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 TLVM1440x employs hiccup overcurrent protection if there is an extreme overload. In hiccup mode, the TLVM1440x module is shut down and kept off for 40ms (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. After the fault is removed, the module automatically recovers and returns to normal operation.
