Functional description

This kind of overcurrent protection is effective if the output current is limited. To prevent the

current from diverging, the current ripple in the inductor during the ON-time must not be

higher than the current ripple during the OFF-time. That is:

Equation 4

If the output voltage is shorted, VOUT 0, IOUT = ILIM, D/FSW = TON_MIN, (1-D)/FSW 1/FSW.

So from the above equation the maximum switching frequency that guarantees to limit the

current results:

Equation 5

With RDS(on) = 300 m, DRC = 0.08 , the worst condition is with VIN = 38 V, ILIM = 2.5 A;

the maximum frequency to keep the output current limited during the short-circuit results

74 kHz.

Based on the pulse-by-pulse mechanism, that reduces the switching frequency down to one

eighth, the maximum FSW, adjusted by the FSW pin, that assures a full effective output

current limitation is 74 kHz * 8 = 592 kHz.

If, with VIN = 38 V, the switching frequency is set higher than 592 kHz, during short-circuit

condition the system finds a different equilibrium with higher current. For example, with

FSW = 700 kHz and the output shorted to ground, the output current is limited around:

Equation 6

where FSW* is 700 kHz divided by eight.
