PRODUCTION DATA.
If current regulation is not needed, a 15-kΩ to 18-kΩ resistor should be used on pin ILIM. This mode provides the highest possible peak current: up to 3.6 A for a few hundred milliseconds (depending on PCB characteristics and the ambient temperature). If current exceeds 3.6 A, the device might reach overcurrent protection (OCP) or overtemperature shutdown (TSD). If that happens, the device disables and protects itself for about 3 ms (tRETRY) and then resumes normal operation.
