Spehro, I believe the DCP02 only has a thermal shutdown which may not be fast
enough to protect the converter against a short. But the sync pin allows to stop
the oscillator so I guess it could be tied into the usual current sense scheme
if you have to protect against overload.

Personally I am not a fan of such integrated DC-DC solutions, and not just
because they are usually $5 and up per device. But at least these things can be
synchronized.
