6.3.6 Internal Current Limit

The TPS74801-Q1 features a factory-trimmed, accurate current limit that is flat over temperature and supply voltage. The current limit allows the device to supply surges of up to 2 A and maintain regulation. The current limit responds in approximately 10 μs to reduce the current during a short-circuit fault.

The internal current limit protection circuitry of the TPS74801-Q1 is designed to protect against overload conditions. This circuitry is not intended to allow operation above the rated current of the device. Continuously running the TPS74801-Q1 above the rated current degrades device reliability.
