8.3.3.3 Short-Circuit Protection

During an output short-circuit event, the current through the device increases very rapidly. When an output short-circuit is detected, the internal fast-trip comparator turns off the output within the tSC. The comparator employs a scalable threshold which is equal to 2.1 × ILIM. This enables the user to adjust the fast-trip threshold as per system needs rather than using a fixed threshold which may not be suitable for all systems. After a fast trip event, the device restarts in a current limited mode to try and restore power to the load quickly in case the fast trip was triggered by a transient event. However, if the fault is persistent, the device will stay in current limit causing the junction temperature to rise and eventually enter thermal shutdown. See Overtemperature Protection (OTP) section for details on the device response to overtemperature.

In some of the systems, for example servers or telecom equipment which house multiple hot-pluggable cards connected to a common supply backplane, there can be transients on the supply due to switching of large currents through the inductive backplane. This can result in current spikes on adjacent cards which could be potentially large enough to inadvertently trigger the fast-trip comparator of the eFuse. The TPS25980x uses a proprietary algorithm to avoid nuisance tripping in such cases thereby facilitating un-interrupted system operation.

Note:

To prevent the circuit breaker loop from interfering with the input line transient detection logic, TI recommends to set the ITIMER interval higher than 100 μs. Refer to Table 8-1 for more details on ITIMER.
