8.3.3 Overcurrent and Short-Circuit Protection

TPS4816-Q1 features integrated accurate I2t functionality for the implementation of a robust and flexible overcurrent protection mechanism. This I2t functionality features an intelligent circuit breaking aimed at protecting PCB traces, connectors and wire harness from overheating, with no impact on load transients like inrush currents and bulk capacitor charging.

The device also features accurate and configurable short-circuit protection threshold (ISC) with fixed response time (tSC = 5 us max).

Figure 8-5 shows the overall current-time characteristics.

  • Configurable I2t based overcurrent protection (IOC) threshold and adjustable response time (tOC and tOC_MIN)

  • Adjustable short-circuit threshold (ISC) with internally fixed fast response (tSC)
