Functional description

This kind of overcurrent protection is effective if the output current is limited. To prevent the

current from diverging, the current ripple in the inductor during the on-time must not be

higher than the current ripple during the off-time. That is:

Equation 3

If the output voltage is shorted, VOUT 0, IOUT = ILIM, D / FSW = TON_MIN,

(1 - D ) / FSW1 / FSW. So, from Equation 3, the maximum switching frequency that

guarantees to limit the current results:

Equation 4

With RDSON = 300 m, DCR = 0.08 , the worst condition is with VIN = 38 V, ILIM = 3.7 A;

the maximum frequency to keep the output current limited during the short-circuit results

88 kHz.

The pulse-by-pulse mechanism, which reduces the switching frequency down to one eighth

the maximum FSW, adjusted by the FSW pin, that assures a full effective output current

limitation, is 88 kHz * 8 = 706 kHz.

If, with VIN = 38 V, the switching frequency is set higher than 706 kHz, during short-circuit

condition the system finds a different equilibrium with higher current. For example, with

FSW = 800 kHz and the output shorted to ground, the output current is limited around:

Equation 5

where FSW* is 800 kHz divided by eight.
