8.3.8.1 Overcurrent Protection

The TPS7H410x device employs multiple overcurrent protection mechanisms. The device is primarily protected from overcurrent conditions by means of the following:

  1. High-side cycle by cycle current limit (IOC_HSx) .
  2. Low-side sourcing current limit (IOC_LS_SOURCINGx)
  3. COMPxCLAMP shutdown.
  4. Low-side sinking current limit.

These current protection mechanisms are detailed in the subsequent sections.
