ADVANCE INFORMATION
The threshold for the current limit is programmed by the internal DAC. The bandwidth of the current limit control loop is optimized for different loads with a resistor and capacitor network on the ILIMCOMP pin. For resistive loads a simple integrator compensation is selected according the following equations:
Where CO2 is the capacitance after the average current sense resistor R(SNS)
fbw is the bandwidth of the voltage loop compensation (see Voltage Regulation Loop)
Where CO is the total output capacitance determined by the voltage loop calculation and the applications voltage ripple requirement.
Where CO1 is the capacitance before the average current sense resistor R(SNS)
For an electronic load (CC-mode CR-mode) a type II compensation network is necessary in most cases. To adopt to the internal regulation loop and bandwidth of the used electronic load. Please refer to the Quick Start Calculator Tool for more detailed optimization.
The read-out register value of the ''ILIM_THRESHOLD" control register is clamped for the lower and for the upper limit of the register range.
