This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
DESCRIPTION
Short circuit detection is done by sensing the voltage drop across the low-side FET when it is on and comparing
it with a user selected threshold of 100 mV, 200 mV or 280 mV. The threshold is set with a single external
resistor connected from COMP to GND. This resistor is sensed at startup and the selected threshold is latched.
Pulse by pulse limiting (to prevent current runaway) is provided by sensing the voltage across the high-side FET
when it is on and terminating the cycle when the voltage drop rises above a fixed threshold of 550 mV. When the
controller senses an output short circuit, both FETs are turned off and a timeout period is observed before
attempting to restart. This provides limited power dissipation in the event of a sustained fault.
