Whenꢀtheꢀloadꢀcurrentꢀincreased,ꢀtheꢀvoltageꢀ(VL)ꢀcrossꢀtheꢀinductorꢀisꢀincreased.ꢀ
Andꢀwhenꢀinductorꢀvoltageꢀexceedsꢀtheꢀresistorꢀvoltageꢀ(VR),ꢀtheꢀOCPꢀisꢀactive.ꢀ

Sometimesꢀ powerꢁonꢀ orꢀ loadꢀ dynamicsꢀ willꢀ causeꢀ falseꢀ outputꢀ ofꢀ overꢁcurrentꢀ detection.ꢀ Itꢀ canꢀ beꢀ
solvedꢀbyꢀconnectingꢀaꢀcapacitorꢀbetweenꢀVSꢀpinꢀandꢀISꢀpin.ꢀInꢀtypicalꢀcase,ꢀCꢀ≥ꢀ0.47uFꢀisꢀsuggested.ꢀ
