SLVS975C September 2009 – April 2018 TPS54318
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS54318 device implements a cycle-by-cycle current limit. During each switching cycle the high-side switch current is compared to the voltage on the COMP pin. When the instantaneous switch current intersects the COMP voltage, the high-side switch is turned off. During overcurrent conditions that pull the output voltage low, the error amplifier responds by driving the COMP pin high, increasing the switch current. The error amplifier output is clamped internally. This clamp functions as a switch current limit.
