8.2.1.6 Current Limit vs. Maximum Output Current

The inductor current ripple can be calculated using Equation 1 and Equation 2:

Equation 1. GUID-0BD53C85-372D-45BA-83E4-B1AE978D2CD6-low.gif
Equation 2. GUID-076F6B2B-742A-481E-ACCF-FF1B9E71CF79-low.gif

Example using Equation 1 and Equation 2:

VIN(max) = 5.5 V
VOUT = 1 V
η = 0.75
fSW = 1.8 MHz
L = 0.38 µH
then D = 0.242 and ΔIL = 1.59 A

Peak current is half of the current ripple. If ILIM_FWD_SET_OTP is 3 A, the minimum forward current limit would be 2.85 A when taking the –5% tolerance into account. In this case the difference between set peak current and maximum load current = 0.795 A + 0.15 A = 0.945 A.
