8.3.15 Constant Peak Current Limit (CSA, CSB)

In boost configuration, if the current sense amplifier input exceeds the 60-mV cycle-by-cycle current limit threshold (VCLTH), the current limit comparator immediately terminates LO and turns on HO. In buck configuration, if the current sense amplifier input exceeds VCLTH, the current limit comparator immediately terminates HO and turns on LO.

The device provides a constant peak current limit whose peak inductor current limit is constant over the input and output voltage. For the case where the inductor current may overshoot, such as inductor saturation, the current limit comparator skips pulses until the current has decayed below the current limit threshold.

Cycle-by-cycle peak current limit is calculated as follows:

Boost converters have a natural pass-through path from the supply to the load through the high-side MOSFET body diode. Due to the pass-through path and the limitation of the minimum controllable on-time, boost converters cannot provide current limit protection when the output voltage is close to or less than the input supply voltage.
