7.3.8 Current Limit

When a current greater than the output current limit (IOCL) is sensed, the ON-time is immediately terminated and the low-side MOSFET is activated. The low-side MOSFET stays on for the entire next four switching cycles. During these skipped pulses, the voltage on the soft-start pin is reduced by discharging the soft-start capacitor by a current sink on the soft-start pin of nominally 14 µA. Subsequent overcurrent events will drain more and more charge from the soft-start capacitor, effectively decreasing the reference voltage as the output droops due to the pulse skipping. Reactivation of the soft-start circuitry ensures that when the overcurrent situation is removed, the part will resume normal operation smoothly.
