Tool/software:
Hi,
I am currently evaluating TPS2597 using the EVM for my customer. I set my active current limiting value of ILIM to be at 6.3A.
When i ran the test, i verify if i slowly ramp the current limit using electronic load, the protection will be engaged at 6.3A which match the design target.
But when i do a short circuit test, i can see that after the initial current spike, the current limit level is only ~4.8A instead of the ILIM set of 6.3A.
Is this a normal operation for the part? If yes, do you know how the 4.8A value is derived from?
I attached the schematic and the scope shot below

Thanks
