The TPS274C65xS protects the system against load fault events like short circuits, inductive load kickback, overload events and over-temperature events. This section describes the details for protecting against each of these fault cases.

There are protection features which, if triggered, will cause the switch to automatically disable:

• Thermal Shutdown

The fault indication is reset and the switch will turn back on when all of the below conditions are met:

• t_RETRY has expired
• All faults are cleared (thermal shutdown and current limit)

Please note that if device hits thermal shutdown during the inrush period, the device will retry with the higher inrush current.
