Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS54332
Good Morning,
I implemented the LM61480 component on a board for one of my clients.
I created a +12V/4A schematic, thanks in particular to WEBENCH Circuit Designer.
The prototype has been manufactured and it works very well.
However, I have a problem.
Indeed, I thought the component was protected against short-circuits, thanks to the hiccup mode.
My design has a very fast fuse after the output, but when I make a short-circuit on the output (+12/GND), the component is destroyed (before the fuse). I have often used components like the TPS54332 and the short circuit was not a problem. Indeed, the fuse was destroyed before the chip.
Do you have a idea why the short circuit protection function is not working on the LM61480?
Best regards
Julien
