Short Circuit Protection (SCP) - REQUIRED

An output short circuit is defined as any output impedance of less than 0.1 ohms. The power supply shall shut down and latch off for shorting +12V DC rails to return. The +12V1 DC and 12V2 DC should have separate short circuit and over current protection. Shorts between main output rails and +12VSB shall not cause any damage to the power supply. The power supply shall either shut down and latch off or fold back for shorting the negative rails. +12VSB must be capable of being shorted indefinitely. When the short is removed, it is recommended that the power supply shall recover automatically or by cycling PS_​ON#. Optionally, the power supply may latch off when a +12VSB short circuit event occurs. The power supply shall be capable of withstanding a continuous short circuit to the output without damage or overstress to the unit (for example, to components, PCB traces, and connectors) under the input conditions specified in Table 4-1.
