7.3.5 Switch Current Limit and HICCUP Short-Circuit Protection

The switch current limit prevents the device from high inductor current and from drawing excessive current from the battery or input voltage rail. Excessive current can occur with a shorted or saturated inductor or a heavy load or shorted output circuit condition. If the inductor current reaches the threshold ILIM, cycle by cycle, the high-side MOSFET is turned off and the low-side MOSFET is turned on, the inductor current ramps down to the low-side MOSFET current limit.

When the high-side MOSFET current limit is triggered 32 times, the device stops switching. The device then automatically restarts with soft start after a typical delay time of 128µs has passed. HICCUP short-circuit protection repeats this mode until the high load condition disappears.
