9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Current Limit Operation
The TPS6125x device employs a valley current limit sensing scheme. Current limit detection occurs during the
off-time by sensing of the voltage drop across the synchronous rectifier.
The output voltage is reduced as the power stage of the device operates in a constant current mode. The
maximum continuous output current (IOUT(CL)), before entering current limit (CL) operation, can be defined by
Equation 1.

and the peak-to-peak current ripple (ΔIL) is calculated by Equation 3

The output current, IOUT(DC), is the average of the rectifier ripple current waveform. When the load current is
increased such that the lower peak is above the current limit threshold, the off-time is increased to allow the
current to decrease to this threshold before the next on-time begins (so called frequency fold-back mechanism).
When the current limit is reached the output voltage decreases during further load increase.
Figure 26 illustrates the inductor and rectifier current waveforms during current limit operation.

9.3.2 Enable
The TPS6125x device starts operation when EN is set high and starts up with the soft-start sequence. For proper
operation, the EN pin must be terminated and must not be left floating.
Pulling the EN and BP pins low forces the device in shutdown, with a shutdown current of typically 1 µA. In this
mode, true load disconnect between the battery and load prevents current flow from VIN to VOUT, as well as
reverse flow from VOUT to VIN.
Pulling the EN pin low and the BP pin high forces the device in standby mode, refer to the Standby Mode section
for more details.
