Hi,
Looking at figure 20 of the datasheet, when there is a short on the output the device responds by turning off the load disconnect FET M1.
The datasheet says a short is detected when the load current reaches 20A or the output voltage is 30% below the set point.
After the 90ms hiccup off time, I see the device restarts and the current goes all the way up to 20A before turning off again. Does the current need to get that high before turning off again? Since the output voltage will be 0V in the case of a short to ground, shouldn't being more than 30% below the set output voltage turn the device off before reaching 20A?
Or is this because the device is still in start up phase? Will reaching the 20A limit interrupt the startup phase?
Thank you!
