LM74930-Q1 uses a low voltage short-circuit comparator (LV_SCP) to protect the system from output short-circuit condition during device power-up. When device is powering up with output short condition, low voltage comparator (LV_SCP) compares the voltage drop across external current sense resistor (ISCP and CS- pins) against internal fixed internal threshold of 20 mV. If this voltage drop is more than LV_SCP comparator short-circuit protection threshold then HGATE drive is disabled.

After the device is powered on, then device uses high voltage short-circuit protection comparator (HV_SCP) as described in Section 7.3.6.
