TPS61178: output short issue

Part Number: TPS61178

Hi Tis guys
TPS61178 has output short circuit protection In the specification,

But I can't realize the output short-circuit function of TPS61178,  if there are any suggestions for me, thx

-Vgs waveform in datasheet as below

the -Vgs waveform in my project as below:

the SCH as below(D2 is open):

  • Hi Jack:

    The capacitance after the external FET should no larger than 10X Cap before the FET. Or there will be a larger inrush current during the PFET turn on.

    And for your waveform, it doesn't look like short current protect. I afraid it trigger UVLO or disable during the test and restart all time.

    Please catch the waveform of the input voltage, SW, EN together with Vgs. If limited by the equipment, please try to keep the test in same condition. Thank you!

  • Hi Jack:

    I closed the thread assuming that you had solved the issue. if not, just reply below.
