9.3.1 Over-current Conditions

The TPS25221 responds to over-current conditions by limiting output current to IOS as show in Figure 24. When an overload condition occurs, the device maintains a constant output current and the output voltage reduces accordingly. Two possible overload conditions can occur.

  1. The first condition is when a short circuit or overload is present when the device is powered-up or enabled. The short circuit and overload holds the output near zero potential with respect to ground and the TPS25221 ramps the output current to IOS. The TPS25221 limits the current to IOS until the overload condition is removed or the device begins to thermal cycle.
  2. The second condition is when a short circuit, partial short circuit, or transient overload occurs when the device is on and the internal NFET is fully enhanced. The device responds to the over-current condition by turning off the NFET within the time limit specified by tIOS (see Figure 4). The current-sense amplifier is over-driven during this time and momentarily disables the internal N-channel MOSFET. The current-sense amplifier then recovers and ramps the output current to IOS. Similar to the previous case, the TPS25221 limits the current to IOS until the overload condition is removed or the device begins to thermal cycle.

The TPS25221 thermal cycles if an overload condition is present long enough to activate thermal limiting in any of the above cases. Thermal limiting turns off the internal NFET and starts when the junction temperature exceeds 145°C (typical). The device remains off until the junction temperature cools 20°C (typical) and then restarts.
