8.2.2.3 Current Sense Resistor

The current limit value (ILIM) is set by the current sense resistor (RS).

RS can be calculated by

Equation 11. GUID-2FF49ED7-590E-4AB2-918C-3AA32612FC25-low.gif

Some margin beyond the maximum load current is recommended for the current limit threshold. In this design example, the current limit is set at 10% above the maximum load current, resulting in a RS value of 10 mΩ. The CS and CSG pins must be Kelvin connected to the current sense resistor.
