10.4.6.1 Transient response waveforms
Idealized stimulus and response waveforms for transient line and transient load tests
are depicted in Figure 30. Note that the transient line and load response refers to the
overshoot, or undershoot only, excluding the DC shift.

10.4.6.2 Short-circuit protection
All general purpose LDOs have short-circuit protection capability. The Short-Circuit
Protection (SCP) system includes debounced fault condition detection, regulator
shutdown, and processor interrupt generation, to contain failures and minimize the
chance of product damage. If a short-circuit condition is detected, the LDO is disabled
by resetting its VGENxEN bit, while at the same time, an interrupt VGENxFAULTI is
generated to flag the fault to the system processor. The VGENxFAULTI interrupt is
maskable through the VGENxFAULTM mask bit.
