7.3.11 Programmable ILIM

The LM72630-Q1 has a programmable average output current limit.

The average output current limit is set by programming an internal 8-bit DAC. Use the AVG_ILIM_THRESHOLD field described in Section 8.6 to set the average output current limit between 0.5A and 4.5A in 50mA steps with the recommended 8mΩ sense resistor.

The LM72630-Q1 also features an MFI function that, if enabled and the set current limit is 3A or less, increases the set current limit by a factor of 1.67x for the first 1ms of the constant current regulation. Use the MFI_EN bit in the register 0xD9 to enable the function.
