6.3.15 Output Short Circuit Protection

In addition to the average inductor current limit, the TPSM852892 implements the output short-circuit protection by entering hiccup mode. After soft start-up time of 3.6ms, the TPSM852892 monitors the average inductor current and output voltage. Whenever the output short circuit happens, causing the average inductor current hitting the current limit and the output voltage below 0.8V for 2ms, the TPSM852892 shuts down the switching for 76ms (typical) and then repeats the soft start for 3.6ms. The hiccup mode helps reduce the total power dissipation on the TPSM852892 in the output short-circuit or overcurrent condition.
