PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS54478 implements current mode control which uses the COMP pin voltage to turn off the high side MOSFET and turn on the low side MOSFET on a cycle by cycle basis. Each cycle the switch current and the COMP pin voltage are compared, when the peak switch current intersects the COMP voltage the high side switch is turned off. During overcurrent conditions that pull the output voltage low, the error amplifier will respond by driving the COMP pin high, increasing the switch current. The error amplifier output is clamped internally. This clamp functions as a switch current limit. When the OCP reaches 512 cycles, the converter enters hiccup mode in which no switching action happens for about 16000 cycles. This helps the reduction of the power consumption during the over current event.
