Active Current Limiting During Start-Up

The TPS1689 responds to output overcurrent conditions during start-up by actively limiting the current. The start-up current limit is internally fixed to Istart-up. The device constantly senses the current flowing through the device (IDEVICE) and provides an analog current output (IILIM) on the ILIM pin, which in turn produces a proportional voltage (VILIM) across the ILIM pin resistor (RILIM) as per Equation 7.

Equation 7. V I L I M = I D E V I C E × G I L I M × R I L I M

Where GILIM is the current monitor gain (IILIM : IDEVICE)

During current regulation, the output voltage drops, resulting in increased device power dissipation across the FET. If the device internal temperature (TJ) exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold, the FET is turned off. After the part shuts down due to a TSD fault, then the part either stays latched off or restarts automatically after a delay based on the RETRY_CONFIG register setting. See Overtemperature protection section for more details on device response to overtemperature.

Note:

The active current limit block employs a foldback mechanism during start-up based on the output voltage (VOUT). When VOUT is below the foldback threshold (VFB), the current limit threshold is further lowered.
