8.4.5 Internal Current Limit and Fold-Back Current Limit for Short Circuit Protection

During normal operation the high-side and low-side MOSFET switches are protected by its current limits ILIMF. Once the high-side MOSFET switch reaches its current limit, it is turned off and the low-side MOSFET switch is turned on. The high-side MOSFET switch can only turn on again, once the current in the low-side MOSFET switch decreases below its current limit ILIMF. The device is capable to provide peak inductor currents up to its internal current limitILIMF..

As soon as the switch current limits are hit and the output voltage falls below 1/3 of the nominal output voltage due to overload or short circuit condition, the foldback current limit is enabled. In this case the switch current limit is reduced to 1/3 of the nominal value ILIMF.

Due to the short circuit protection is enabled during start-up, the device does not deliver more than 1/3 of its nominal current limit ILIMF until the output voltage exceeds 1/3 of the nominal output voltage. This needs to be considered when a load is connected to the output of the converter, which acts as a current sink.
