8.2.2.9 Current Limit, RCL

Resistor RCL sets the current limit off-timer according to Equation 5. The useable values tend to be in the range of 100 kΩ to 1 MΩ. Equation 15 specifies the off-time required for volt-second balance on the inductor in current limit.

Equation 15. LM5007 q_toff-ILIM_nvs252.gif

where

  • 225 ns is the current limit response time,
  • VF is the forward voltage drop of the freewheeling power diode,
  • VOUT is the output voltage,
  • ILIM is the current limit,
  • RDCR is the inductor DC resistance.

The programmed current limit off-time should be higher than the off-time needed for volt-second balance on the inductor. For a short at the output (VOUT = 0 V) and VF = 0.7 V, an inductor DCR of 390 mΩ or higher is needed to achieve volt-second balance at the maximum programmed current limit off-time of 17 µs. Using Equation 5, an RCL of greater than 10 kΩ can be used. Select a conservative value of 100 kΩ for this design.
