6.3.9 Overcurrent Protection

The TPS61162A, TPS61163A have a pulse-by-pulse overcurrent limit. The boost switch turns off when the inductor current reaches this current threshold, and it remains off until the beginning of the next switching cycle. This protects the TPS61162A, TPS61163A and external component under overload conditions.
