Abstract
Methods and apparatus for dynamically adjusting an over-current protection threshold () are disclosed. A dynamic over-current protection circuit () receives a first trigger to switch to a high discharge current mode. The dynamic over-current protection circuit () starts a high-current timer () and increases the over-current protection threshold () in response to receiving the trigger. The dynamic over-current protection circuit () decreases the over-current protection threshold () and starts a hold-off timer () in response to an expiration of the high current timer (). The hold-off timer () prevents a second trigger from causing a switch to the high discharge current mode until the hold-off timer expires.
