6.5.5 Current Limit Operation

TPS61381-Q1 implements both peak current and average inductor current limit function to protect the device from overload and back up battery from over-discharging. The average current limit can be programmed by I2C BST_ILIM bits.

Besides the average current limit, peak current limit protection is applied to protect the device against overcurrent conditions. In boost operation, the peak current limit threshold is determined by average current limit. With the average current limit set to 5A or 10A, the peak current is limited to 15A, otherwise the peak current is limited to 30A. The peak current limit can enable or disable by I2C BST_ILIM_EN bit. In downmode operation, the peak current limit is reduced depending on VOUT and BUB voltage to avoid IC overheating.
