9.3.8.1.1 High-Side 1 Overcurrent Protection (HS1)

The device implements current mode control, which uses the COMP pin voltage to control the turn-off of the high-side MOSFET and the turn-on of the low-side MOSFET on a cycle-by-cycle basis. Each cycle the switch current and the current reference generated by the COMP pin voltage are compared. When the peak switch current intersects the programmed high side current, IOC_HS1, the high-side switch is commanded off (although the high side will be on for at least the minimum on time, tON).

HS1 is implemented utilizing the COMP voltage. As the device approaches IOC_HS1, COMP increases which causes the gmps of the device to approach zero. Therefore, at high enough values of COMP, the output current is essentially clamped to the selected value. This functionality is shown in the simplified waveforms of Figure 9-9.

Note that the IOC_HS1 threshold specification is measured in an open loop configuration due to testability limitations while actual short circuit events are dynamic and in closed loop. In most cases, the resulting current limit value will be similar, but in some short circuit conditions, the values may exceed the specified thresholds. This is particularly true at low values of VIN (such as under 5V), higher switching frequencies, and colder temperatures

The high side 1 overcurrent protection (HS1) threshold value is typically 9.7A for the TPS7H4012 and 5.6A for the TPS7H4013. By limiting the current to a specific value, an inductor may be appropriately sized to handle the maximum current. The recommended DC maximum output current is 6A for the TPS7H4012 and 3A for the TPS7H4013.
