TPS62736 TPS62737 current limit behavior

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS62736

Hi, I need a little help understanding the current limiting behavior of the TPS62736.  The maximum output current for the 50mA version of the part is depicted in Figs. 16-18 of the data sheet.  The captions say something like:

IN = Sourcemeter configured as voltage source and measuring current

OUT = sourcemeter configured as current source to increasingly sink current until V(OUT) < VOUT - 100 mV

I think I understand that, but my question is -- what is the behavior of the chip as the load current is increased further beyond 100mV droop from nominal?  Does the voltage droop further and current remain largely limited to ~50mA?

Thanks, --John
