Hi team,
Could you explain the behavior of VOUT when dead short to GND?
Output short circuit protection is described in the datasheet as protected by the current limit and thermal shutdown,
1. Hit current limit (500mA maximum current)
2. die temperature rises
3. Hit thermal protection at 175c
4. The device shutdown the output
5. The die temperature cool down to 150c
6. The device try to power up and hit current limit
7. repeat 1. to 6.
I would like to know even if the output is dead short to GND, the device tries to power up until the thermal shutdown hit.
It is helpful if you can share the scope shot of this condition.
regards,
