PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS6215xA-Q1 is protected against heavy load and short circuit events. At heavy loads, the current limit determines the maximum output current. If the current limit is reached, the high-side FET turns off. Avoiding shoot through current, the low-side FET switches on to allow the inductor current to decrease. The high-side FET turns on again, only if the current in the low-side FET has decreased below the low-side current limit threshold.
The output current of the device is limited by the current limit (see Electrical Characteristics). Due to internal propagation delay, the actual current can exceed the static current limit during that time. The dynamic current limit can be calculated as follows:
spacing
where
ILIMF is the static current limit, specified in the ,
L is the inductor value,
VL is the voltage across the inductor (VIN - VOUT) and
tPD is the internal propagation delay.
The current limit can exceed static values, especially if the input voltage is high and very small inductances are used. The dynamic high side switch peak current can be calculated as follows:
