8.2.3 Application Ideas

For applications requiring the lowest cost with minimum conduction loss, inductor DC resistance (DCR) can be used to sense the inductor current rather than using a sense resistor. RDCRC and CDCRC must meet Equation 15 to match a time constant.

Equation 15. LMRDCR=RDCRC×CDCRC

If required, an additional PGOOD delay can be programmed using an external circuit.
