TPS2421 Startup Under Load Question

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS2421-2, LM5060, TPS24700

Hello,

I'm considering using a TPS2421-2 for a 12V application but the max load will be 5A at 12V and it will be present during start-up. In looking through the datasheet there is a mention of the maximum load turning startup should be less than 12^2/12 or 12 ohms in Equation 10. Obviously a 5A load of 2.4 ohms violates this limit. Is there any way around this limit which would allow the TPS2421 to be used?

Thank you for any assistance or recommendations.
