6.3.5 Current Limit

The TPS7A7100 internal current limit circuitry protects the regulator during fault conditions. During a current limit event, the output sources a fixed amount of current that is mostly independent of the output voltage. The current limit function is provided as a fail-safe mechanism and is not intended to be used regularly. Do not design any applications to use this current-limit function as a part of expected normal operation. Extended periods of current-limit operation degrade device reliability.

Powering on the device with the enable pin, or increasing the input voltage above the minimum operating voltage while a low-impedance short exists on the output of the device, can result in a sequence of high-current pulses from the input to the output of the device. The energy consumed by the device is minimal during these events; therefore, there is no failure risk. Additional input capacitance helps mitigate the load transient requirement of the upstream supply during these events.
