Table 4-2 compares performances between three short-circuit protection behaviors.
| Reboot After Release | Power Loss | |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-charge | Instantly |
Equation 20.
|
| Down mode | Instantly |
Equation 21.
|
| Hiccup | < twait(20ms to 80ms) |
Equation 22.

In conclusion, devices that require fast recovery when the short circuit releases can use pre-charge or down-mode devices. Applications that prioritize temperature rise under output short conditions benefit from hiccup mode, which provides lower power loss.
