Hello,

Does this IC have output short circuit protection? And what happens when output is shorted? Thanks.

no. there is diode from SW pin to VOUT pin. the device could be damage if the output voltage is short and power supply is very strong.

Jasper thanks for the fast response!

Could you recommend some protection concepts?

what output current of your project? one simple solution is adding a resistor in series with the output. or you can a load switch device.
