Current Sense Resistor and Ramp Capacitor

T = 1 / fSW, gm = 5 µA/V, A = 10 V/V. IOUT is the maximum output current at current limit.

General method for VOUT < 5 V is Equation 35 and Equation 36.

Equation 36. GUID-037FAF85-1A62-4058-80F8-147486EBE4A7-low.gif

General method for 5 V < VOUT < 7.5 V is Equation 37 and Equation 38.

Equation 37. GUID-E0822AA7-7B34-40BC-9B6D-844DC60CAA75-low.gif
Equation 38. GUID-CF45C95D-6BEA-4A27-8C5E-3F1766AD775F-low.gif

Best performance method minimizes the current limit deviation due to changes in line voltage, while maintaining near optimal slope compensation.

Calculate optimal slope current with Equation 39, IOS = (VOUT / 3) × 10 µA/V. For example, at VOUT = 7.5 V,
IOS = 25 µA.

Calculate VRAMP at the nominal input voltage with Equation 40.

For VOUT > 7.5 V, install a resistor from the RAMP pin to VCC and calculate with Equation 41.

For VOUT < 7.5 V, a negative VCC is required. This can be made with a simple charge pump from the LO gate output. Install a resistor from the RAMP pin to the negative VCC and calculate with Equation 42.

Equation 42. GUID-64AF64FA-5889-4DFF-A1B5-5558CCE129E8-low.gif

If a large variation is expected in VCC, say for VIN < 11 V, a Zener regulator may be added to supply a constant voltage for RRAMP.
