9.3.2 Current Limit

There is an internal current limit intended to protect the TPS7H2211 against hard short circuit conditions. Figure 9-4 shows a short circuit condition followed by an immediate recovery. The TPS7H2211 internal short circuit protection trips at IL_trip. It takes time tftr, for the internal circuitry to respond to the short circuit condition. Before the current limit circuitry responds, the current through the switch will continue to rise to a peak value, IL_peak. At this point the current limit circuitry responds and quickly turns off the switch. As there is no active discharge on VOUT, the rate of discharge will depend on external factors such as the short condition and COUT. The switch will stay off for time tfto, before turning-on again.

A. The following values were measured at VIN = 12 V, a parasitic switch inductance nominal value of 270 nH, and ROUT changing from 10 Ω to 10 mΩ in 1 μs:
  • IL_trip(typ) = 8.5 A
  • tftr(typ) = 2.3 μs
  • IL_peak(typ) = 25 A
  • tfto(typ) = 51 μs
Figure 9-4 Single Hard Short and Recovery

As shown in Figure 9-4, the TPS7H2211 is designed to quickly respond to a hard fault condition to minimize the current peak. IL_trip and tftr are highly dependent upon the actual fault conditions.

While Figure 9-4 shows a hard short condition that immediately recovers, Figure 9-5 shows a hard short condition that does not immediately recover. Instead, the device twice enters the fast trip mode before the fault is removed.

CAUTION: A short will repeat indefinitely until the short is removed or until the device is disabled. The TPS7H2211 is not intended to remain in this mode indefinitely.
