Current Limiting Operation of an MPS Load Switch

MPS load switches with current limiting will regulate the output current when the current limit is reached. When current limiting, the power loss across the FET will cause the IC temperature to rise. If thermal limits are reached, the device will turn off due to Over Temperature Protection (OTP) and will recover after the temperature drops below the OTP threshold.
