PRODUCT PREVIEW Information. Product in design phase of development. Subject to change or discontinuance without notice.
The Buck regulators have programmable output peak current limits. The limits are individually programmed for both regulators with BUCKx_ILIM[2:0] bits in BUCKx_CTRL_2 register. If the load current is increased so that the current limit is triggered, the regulator continues to regulate to the limit current level (peak current regulation). The voltage may decrease if the load current is higher than limit current. If the current regulation continues for 20 µs, the TPS65653-Q1 device sets the BUCKx_ILIM_INT bit in INT_BUCK register and pulls the nINT pin low. The host processor can read BUCKx_ILIM_STAT bits in BUCK_STAT register to see if the regulator is still in peak current regulation mode and the interrupt is cleared by writing 1 to BUCKx_ILIM_INT bit. The current limit interrupt can be masked by setting BUCKx_ILIM_MASK bit in BUCK_MASK register to 1. The Buck overload situation is shown in Figure 14.
