8.4.4 Current Foldback Mode

When the measured output current exceeds the value specified by the IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT command, the UCD9244 attempts to continue to operate by reducing the output voltage in order to maintain the output current at the value set by IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT. This continues indefinitely as long as the output voltage remains above the minimum value specified by IOUT_OC_LV_FAULT_LIMIT. If the output voltage is pulled down to less than that value, the device responds as programmed by the IOUT_OC_LV_FAULT_RESPONSE command.
