PRODUCTION DATA
If the external load requirements is less than 40mA, the inductor can be replaced with a resistor. In resistor mode, the power is dissipated across the external resistor and the efficiency is lower than a buck in inductor mode. To appropriately scale the resistor, use the following equations. The ULC1001-Q1 max current consumption is approximately 10mA, IULC. Using DRV2911-Q1 internal current, IDRV_INT, consumption assumed to be 10mA, PVDD equal to 25V, and buck voltage equal to 5V, the buck resistor should be rated higher than 400mW. When choosing a resistor rating, consider the layout's ambient temperature range and overall thermal dissipation.
Figure 6-8 shows the connection of buck regulator in resistor mode.
