7.3.4.3 Active Current Limiting During Start-Up

The TPS1689x responds to output overcurrent conditions during start-up by actively limiting the current. The start-up current limit is internally fixed to Istart-up. 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) and internal FET junction temperature. When VOUT is below the foldback threshold (VFB), the current limit threshold is further lowered.
