The peak current drawn from the supply through the inductor is set solely by the R(REXT) resistor. This peak current-limit is independent of the selected inductance value, but the inductor is capable of handling this programmed limit. Use Equation 3 to calculate the relationship between R(REXT) and I(LIM).
where
For this design example, because the saturation current is 1.5 A, select 1 A for the I(LIM) value. Using Equation 3, the value of R(EXT) is approximately 14 kΩ.
