6.3.9 Inductor Current Limit

The TPSM852892 implements both peak current and average inductor current limit. The average current mode control loop uses the current sense information at the high-side MOSFET of the boost leg to clamp the maximum average inductor current to 6A (typical).

Besides the average current limit, a peak current limit protection is implemented during transient to protect the device against over current condition beyond the capability of the device.
