SLVSH35A October 2023 – February 2024 TPS274C65CP
PRODUCTION DATA
When IOUT reaches the current limit threshold, ICL, the device registers an overcurrent fault and begins regulating the current at the set limit. When either switch is in the FAULT state, it is indicated on the corresponding STx pin. This protects the system against overload cases where the load attempts to draw more than the maximum rated current, so the TPS274C65 can recognize and limit current or shut off these cases. In the case of a slow overload with the device channel enabled for a while, the current limit levels are as shown in Figure 8-3.
