TPS25984Bx incorporates four levels of protection against overcurrent:
- Adjustable slew rate (dVdt) for inrush current control
- Active current limit with an adjustable threshold (ILIM) for overcurrent protection during start-up
- Circuit-breaker with an adjustable threshold (IOCP) and fixed internal blanking timer (tITIMER) for overcurrent protection during steady-state
- Fast-trip response to severe overcurrent faults with an adjustable threshold (ISFT = 2 × IOCP) to quickly protect against severe short-circuits under all conditions, as well as a fixed threshold (IFFT) during steady state
