8.3.7 Current Limit (CS Pin)

The LM5150-Q1 features cycle-by-cycle peak current limit without subharmonic oscillation at high duty cycle. If the sum of the sensed inductor current and the slope compensation ramp exceeds the current limit threshold at the current limit comparator input (VCL), the current limit comparator immediately terminates the present cycle. To minimize the peak current limit variation due to changes in either the supply voltage or the output voltage, the device features a variable current limit threshold which is calculated using Equation 6.

Equation 6. GUID-8C65249B-68A0-47D2-83B8-069321949C32-low.gif

Cycle-by-cycle peak inductor current limit (IPEAK-CL) in steady state calculated as follows:

Equation 7. GUID-42D5379A-8D01-4607-A00A-50AC6A485F71-low.gif
Equation 8. GUID-DA53AE35-FC0A-4444-A611-D362A2BD3E5A-low.gif

FSYNC is included in the equation because the peak amplitude of the slope compensation varies with the frequency of the external synchronization clock. Substitute FSW_RT for FSYNC if clock synchronization is not used.

Boost converters have a natural pass-through path from the supply to the load through the high-side power diode (D1). Due to this path, boost converters cannot provide current limit protection when the output voltage is close to or less than the input supply voltage.

A small external RC filter (RF, CF) at the CS pin is required to overcome the leading edge spike of the current sense signal. Select an RF value which is greater than 30 Ω and a CF value which is greater than 1 nF. Due to the effect of the filter, the peak current limit is not valid when the on-time is less than 2 × RF × CF.
