PRODUCTION DATA
Hiccup mode reduces the power dissipation during an overload event. To enable hiccup operation, make sure that HICCUPEN = 1 in the CONTROL1 register. If hiccup operation is enabled and the high-side switch current hits the high-side current limit threshold on 32 consecutive switching cycles, the device:
Hiccup operation continues – in a repeating sequence of 32 cycles in current limit, followed by a pause of 128 µs, followed by a soft-start attempt – for as long as the output overload condition exists.
The device clears the HICCUP bit if reading the STATUS register when the overload condition no longer exists. Figure 7-19 shows 2 cycles of hiccup operation, at which point the over load is removed and the part continues in normal operation.
