Foldback current limit and short circuit protection are valid for devices where foldback current limit is enabled.

When the TPS6244x-Q1 detects current limit for more than 1024 subsequent switching cycles, the device reduces the current limit from its nominal value to typically 1.3 A (TPS62441-Q1) and 1.45 A (TPS62442-Q1). Foldback current limit is left when the current limit indication goes away. If device operation continues in current limit, it would, after 3072 switching cycles, try again for full current limit for 1024 switching cycles.
