Using the L6730D there is the possibility to set the constant-current-protection also after the
soft-start. The following figures show the behaviour of the L6730D during an overcurrent event.

reduced and so the maximum current can be fixed even if the output current is escalating.

Notice how the Vout remains constant even if the output current increases because the on-time
cannot be reduced anymore.
