7.3.3.4 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 tSC. During steady-state operation, the comparator employs a fixed threshold which is equal to IFT. During inrush or current limit, the comparator employs a scalable threshold which is equal to 2×ILIM. 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 TPS25983 avoids nuisance tripping in such cases thereby facilitating un-interrupted system operation.
