The OCx open-drain output is asserted (active low) when an overcurrent or overtemperature shutdown condition is encountered after a 10-ms deglitch timeout. The output remains asserted until the overcurrent or overtemperature condition is removed. Connecting a heavy capacitive load to an enabled device can cause a momentary overcurrent condition; however, no false reporting on OCx occurs due to the 10-ms deglitch circuit. The TPS20xxB-Q1 is designed to eliminate false overcurrent reporting. The internal overcurrent deglitch eliminates the need for external components to remove unwanted pulses. OCx is not deglitched when the switch is turned off due to an overtemperature shutdown.
