The TPS61372 provides a hiccup protection mode when output short protection occurs. In hiccup mode, the TPS61372 shuts down after the 1.9-ms duration of current limit is triggered and the V_OUT is pulled below 105% V_IN. In hiccup steady state, the device shuts down itself and restarts after a 74-ms (typical) waiting time, which helps to reduce the overall thermal dissipation at continuous short condition. After the short condition releases, the device can recover automatically and restart the start-up phase.
