Operation at Output Overload

If in normal boost operation the inductor current reaches the internal switch current limit threshold the main switch is turned off to stop further increase of the input current.

In this case the output voltage will decrease since the device can not provide sufficient power to maintain the set output voltage.

If the output voltage drops below the input voltage the backgate diode of the rectifying switch gets forward biased and current starts flow through it. This diode cannot be turned off, so the current finally is only limited by the remaining DC resistances. As soon as the overload condition is removed, the converter resumes providing the set output voltage.
