8.3.3.2 Short-Circuit Protection

The short-circuit current threshold (ISC) can be set RISCP resistor. Use Equation 14 to calculate the required RISCP value.

Equation 14. RISCP (kΩ)=ISC × RSNS - 1.8ISCP

where

ISC is the short-circuit current threshold in Ampere.

RSNS is external current sense resistor in miliohms.

ISCP is the internal reference current of 25µA.

When the load current exceeds the ISC threshold then, GATE pulls low to SRC within 5µs (max) in TPS4812-Q1, protecting the main path FETs and FLT asserts low at the same time. Subsequent to this event, the charge and discharge cycles of CTMR starts similar to the behavior post FET OFF event in the overcurrent protection scheme.

Latch-off can also achieved in the similar way as explained in the overcurrent protection scheme.
