PRODUCTION DATA.
When IOUT reaches the current limit threshold, ICL, the channel will switch off immediately. The ICL value will vary with slew rate and a fast current increase that occurs during a powered-on short circuit can temporarily go above the specified ICL value. When the switch is in the FAULT state it will output an output current ISNSFH on the SNS pin and on version F of the device, the fault will also be indicated on the corresponding FLT pin.
During a short circuit event, the device will hit the ICL value that is listed in the Electrical Characteristics table (for the given device version and RILIM) and then turn the output off to protect the device. The device will register a short circuit event when the output current exceeds ICL, however the measured maximum current may exceed the ICL value due to the TPS1HB08-Q1 deglitch filter and turn-off time. This deglitch time is defined at 3 µs so therefore use the test setup described in TPS1HB08-Q1 AEC-Q100-012 Short Circuit Reliability and take 3 µs before the peak value as the ICL. The device is guaranteed to protect itself during a short circuit event over the nominal supple voltage range (as defined in the Electrical Characteristics table) at 125°C.
On version F of the device, the current limit set point of the device is flat from -40°C to 60°C, and then will linearly decrease until 150°C. This decrease of the current limit is designed to protect the part in even hot temperatures where a short-circuit event causes more damage.
