7.3.11.1 High-Side Overcurrent Protection

During overcurrent conditions that pull the output voltage low, the error amplifier will respond by driving the COMP pin high, increasing the switch current. The error amplifier output is clamped internally. This clamp functions as a high-side switch current limit. When the high-side switch current limit occurs consecutively for 512 CLK cycles, the converter enters hiccup mode in which no switching action happens for about 16000 cycles. This helps to reduce the power consumption during an overcurrent event.
