SLVSHR3 July 2024 TPS551892-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
In addition to the average inductor current limit, the TPS551892-Q1 implements the output short-circuit protection by entering hiccup mode. After soft start-up time of 3.6ms, the TPS551892-Q1 monitors the average inductor current and output voltage. Whenever the output short circuit happens, causing the average inductor current hitting the set limit and the output voltage below 0.8V for 2ms, the TPS551892-Q1 shuts down the switching for 76ms (typical) and then repeats the soft start for 3.6ms. The hiccup mode helps reduce the total power dissipation on the TPS551892-Q1 in the output short-circuit or overcurrent condition.
