SLVSH28A december 2022 – april 2023 TPS552892
PRODUCTION DATA
In addition to the average inductor current limit, the TPS552892 implements the output short-circuit protection by entering hiccup mode. After soft start-up time of 3.6 ms, the TPS552892 monitors the average inductor current and output voltage. Whenever the output short circuit happens, causing the average inductor current hitting the current limit and the output voltage below 0.8 V for 2 ms, the TPS552892 shuts down the switching for 76 ms (typical) and then repeats the soft start for 3.6 ms. The hiccup mode helps reduce the total power dissipation on the TPS552892 in the output short-circuit or overcurrent condition.
