The LM2576 device has current limiting to prevent the switch current from exceeding safe values during an accidental overload on the output. This current limit value can be found in Section 6.10 under the heading of ICL.
The LM2576 uses cycle-by-cycle peak current limit for overload protection. This helps to prevent damage to the device and external components. The regulator operates in current limit mode whenever the inductor current exceeds the value of ICL given in Section 6.10. This occurs if the load current is greater than 3 A, or the converter is starting up. Keep in mind that the maximum available load current depends on the input voltage, output voltage, and inductor value. The regulator also incorporates short-circuit protection to prevent inductor current run-away. When the voltage on the FB pin (ADJ) falls below about 0.58 V the switching frequency is dropped to about 11 kHz. This allows the inductor current to ramp down sufficiently during the switch OFF-time to prevent saturation.
