Selecting RILIM

The current limit set level TPS281C100 must allow for the maximum DC current with margin but minimize the energy in the switch and the load on the input supply during a fault condition by minimizing the current limit.

The nominal current limit should be set such that the worst case (lowest) current limit will be higher than the maximum nominal load current. If the application is a 500 mA digital output module, with the max current to be 1A, then there are two ways to set the current limit.

First way is to use the resistor value listed in the electrical characteristic table. 25 kΩ RILIM resistor setting will set the current limit minimum level to be 1.5 A, which is above the maximum nominal load current. If the high end of the setting 2.3 A is acceptable in the application, then 25 kΩ RILIM resistance can be used.

If the application wants to minimize the maximum current seen by the module as much as possible, then the current limit resistor needs to be chosen so that the minimum current limit level is as close to the maximum load current as possible. To obtain the minimum current limit to be 1 A, the typical current limit needed to be scaled for the same ratio 1 × 1.32 = 1.32 A. By linear interpolation, we can find the KCL value at 1.32 A typical current limit is 48.5 A * kΩ.

Equation 11. RILIM = KCL / ICL

The calculated value of RILIM is 36.7 kΩ, and the closest 1% standard resistor value is 36.5 kΩ.
