SLVSGU5A April 2022 – July 2022 TPS22811
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS22811x devices respond to output overcurrent conditions during start-up by actively limiting the current. If the load current exceeds the set overcurrent threshold (ILIM) set by the IMON pin resistor (RIMON), but stays lower than the fast-trip threshold (IFT), the current limit loop starts regulating the FET to actively limit the current to the set overcurrent threshold (ILIM). Equation 5 can be used to calculate the RIMON value for a desired overcurrent threshold.
During active current limit, the output voltage drops, resulting in increased device power dissipation across the FET. If the device internal temperature (TJ) exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold (TSD), the FET is turned off. After the part shuts down due to TSD fault, it stays latched off.
