PRODUCTION DATA
ILIM pin open: In this case, the ILIM pin voltage is internally pulled up to a higher voltage and exceeds the VIREF threshold, causing the part to engage the current limit even if there is no significant current flowing through the device.
ILIM pin shorted to GND directly or through a very low resistance: In this case, the ILIM pin voltage is held at a low voltage and is not allowed to exceed the start-up current limit threshold even if there is significant current flowing through the device, thereby rendering the primary current limit mechanism ineffective during start-up. The device relies on an internal overcurrent detection mechanism to provide some protection as a backup. If the device detects that the backup overcurrent threshold (IOC_BKP) is exceeded but at the same time the primary overcurrent detection on ILIM pin fails, it triggers single point failure detection and latches a fault. The FET is turned off and the FLT pin is asserted.
