Current Limit
When I
OUT
reaches the current limit threshold, I
CL
, the device can switch off immediately (versions A, B,
and E), or the device can remain enabled and limit I
OUT
(versions C and D). The TPS1HA08-Q1 will be
available in multiple variants which collectively allow both of these behavior options. In the case that the
device remains enabled (and limits I
OUT
), the thermal shutdown or energy limit protection feature may be
triggered due to the high amount of power dissipation in the device.

Current Sense
High-accuracy current sensing allows real-time monitoring and more diagnostics without further
calibration. A current mirror is used to source a 1/4600 of the load current on SNS pin. The 1-k
Ω
R10
resistor is connected to the SNS pin to convert the current source into a voltage:
V
SNS
= 1000 × I
OUT
/ 4600
