8.3.3 Inrush Current, Overcurrent, and Short-Circuit Protection

TPS25946xx incorporates four levels of protection against overcurrent in forward direction (IN to OUT):

  1. Adjustable slew rate (dVdt) for inrush current control
  2. Adjustable threshold (ILIM) for overcurrent protection during start-up or steady-state
  3. Adjustable threshold (ISC) for fast-trip response to severe overcurrent during start-up or steady-state
  4. Fixed threshold (IFT) for fast-trip response to quickly protect against hard output short-circuits during steady-state
