LM63625-Q1: How does the device can detect if the power inductor is shorted at the SW node?

Part Number: LM63625-Q1

Hi Team,

We would like to ask your help regarding the customer's inquiry below. 

The datasheet recommends not to saturate the inductor to very low values it may lead to component damage.(Page no:26)

Due to electrical overstress, if inductor is shorted at the output, can the device able to detect this failure and go to safe mode.
As per my understanding, inductor shorted, may lead to increase in ripple current. But can the output voltage be maintained ?
What failure distribution can be given to inductor short condition?


Design specs: VIN= 24V, VOUT= 3.3V with maximum output current of 1.3A @ Fsw=0.98MHz 

Regards,

Danilo
