8.1.6 Adjusting the Factory-Programmed Current Limit

The current limit is a brick-wall scheme and the factory-programmed current limit value can be programmed to a set of discrete values (100%, 80%, or 60% of the default value), as specified in the Electrical CharacteristicsElectrical CharacteristicsElectrical CharacteristicsElectrical CharacteristicsElectrical CharacteristicsElectrical CharacteristicsElectrical Characteristics table. This adjustment can be done by changing the input impedance of the FB_PG pin represented by the parallel resistance of RFB_PG(TOP) || RFB_PG(BOTTOM). The FB_PG pin has dual functionality of adjusting the ICL value and setting the power-good (PG) assert threshold.

Prior to start-up, the input impedance of the FB_PG pin is sampled and the ICL value is adjusted based on the input impedance.

Current limit programmability is dependent on the output voltage. For voltages below 0.4 V, the current limit cannot be programmed. For voltages between 0.4 V and 1.2 V, the current limit cannot be adjusted and is always set to 100%. Table 8-1 describes this behavior.

Table 8-1 Programmable Current Limit vs Output Voltage
NOMINAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) RFB_PG(BOTTOM) (kΩ) RFB_PG(TOP) (kΩ) ICL SETTING (%)
VOUT(nom) ≥ 1.2 V RFB_PG(BOTTOM) = 0.2 V / 16 μA RFB_PG(TOP) = RFB_PG(BOTTOM) × ( VOUT(nom) / 0.2 V × K – 1) with K = PG threshold (%VOUT) 100
RFB_PG(BOTTOM) = 0.2 V / 4 μA 80
RFB_PG(BOTTOM) = 0.2 V / 2 μA 60
0.4 V ≤ VOUT(nom) < 1.2 V RFB_PG(BOTTOM) = 0.2 V / 6 μA 100

Table 8-2 provides values for various output voltages using 1% resistors.
