TPS61199 about SW Current Limit and Output Short to GND Protection

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS61199

Hello,

Please teach me about TPS61199's protection.

 

Data Sheet P10. and P11.

> 1. Switch current limit protection using the ISNS pin

> The TPS61199 monitors the inductor current through the voltage across a sense resistor (R1 in Figure 1) in

> order to provide current limit protection. During the switch FET on period, when the voltage at ISNS pin rises

> above 160 mV (VISNS in the Electrical Characterization table), the IC turns off the FET immediately and

> does not turn it back on until the next switch cycle. The switch current limit is equal to 160mV / R1.

 

> 6. Output short to ground protection

> When the inductor peak current reaches twice the switch current limit in each switch cycle, the IC

> immediately disables the boost controller until the fault is cleared. This protects the IC and external

> components from damage if the output is shorted to ground.

[Question]

1) What is the difference between "turns off the FET" and "disable the boost controller" ?

2) What dose that mean "twice" ?  x2 or 2-cycle ?
