6.3.12 Current Sense Setting and Switch Peak Current Limit (CSP1, CSP2, CSN1, CSN2)

The peak current limit for each phase is set by the sense resistors RSNS1 and RSNS2. The positive peak current limit for phase 1 is active when CSP1 − CSN1 reaches the threshold VCLTH (typical 60mV), for phase 2 CSP2 − CSN2. The negative peak current limit is active when VNCLTH (typical −28mV) is reached. R1, R2, R4, R5 are 0Ω and R3, R6 are open.

Equation 14. R S N S = I p e a k _ l i m V C L T H

Adjust the peak current limit by adding the resistors R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6. Resistors R1, R2, R4 and R5 need to have the same value. Select the resistors <1Ω because the CSx amplifiers are supplied by the CSPx pins. Select R3 and R6 between 1Ω and 20Ω.

Equation 15. Ipeak_lim_ph1=R1+R2R3+1×VCLTHRSNS1
Equation 16. I p e a k _ l i m _ p h 2 = R 4 + R 5 R 6 + 1 × V C L T H R S N S 2
LM5125-Q1 Peak Limit adjustment through additional resistors Figure 6-13 Peak Limit adjustment through additional resistors

The negative peak current limit of typically −28mV is an additional safety protection and usually not reached as the negative current is already limited by the COMP-pin voltage. VCOMP is clamped at typically 200mV, which limits the switch current at around −20mV sense voltage.
