8.2.2.7 Sense Resistor (RSENSE)

The current sense resistor between the CS and CSG pins should be selected to ensure that current limit is set high enough for both buck and boost modes of operation. For the buck operation, the current limit resistor is given by:

Equation 23. GUID-5C9BC47E-B0AD-4E02-817D-4F73E15F5705-low.gif

For the boost mode of operation, the current limit resistor is given by:

Equation 24. GUID-EA52D7FA-57DD-48F5-B244-C334AE554315-low.gif

The closest standard value of RSENSE = 8 mΩ is selected based on the boost mode operation.

The maximum power dissipation in RSENSE happens at VIN(MIN):

Equation 25. GUID-14704B1A-3A9C-4C3C-9D84-57F467B90FDC-low.gif

Therefore, a sense resistor with 2-W power rating will be sufficient for this application.

For some application circuits, it can be required to add a filter network to attenuate noise in the CS and CSG sense lines. See Figure 8-1 for typical values. The filter resistance should not exceed 100 Ω.
