8.2.1.2.4 Current-Sense Resistance
  1. Calculate the current-sense resistance based on a maximum peak current capability of at least 25% higher than the peak inductor current at full load to provide sufficient margin during start-up and load-on transients. Calculate the current sense resistances using Equation 34.
    Equation 34. R S = V C S ( T H ) 1.25 × I L O P K   = 56 m V 1.25 × 9 . 74   =   4.6 m Ω

    where

    • VCS(TH) is the 56mV current limit threshold.
  2. Select a standard resistance value of 5mΩ for the shunt. A 0508 footprint component with wide aspect ratio termination design provides 1-W power rating, low parasitic series inductance, and compact PCB layout. Carefully observe the Layout Guidelines to make sure that noise and DC errors do not corrupt the differential current-sense voltages measured at the ISNS+ and VOUT pins.
  3. Place the shunt resistor close to the inductor.
  4. Use Kelvin-sense connections, and route the sense lines differentially from the shunt to the LM70880-Q1.
  5. The ISNS-to-output propagation delay (related to the current limit comparator, internal logic and power MOSFET gate drivers) causes the peak current to increase above the calculated current limit threshold. For a total propagation delay tISNS(delay) of 40 ns, use Equation 35 to calculate the worst-case peak inductor current with the output shorted.
    Equation 35. I L O P K S C   =   V C S ( T H ) R S + V I N ( m a x ) × t I S N S ( d e l a y ) L O   = 56 m V 5 m Ω + 60 V × 45 n s 3.3 µ H = 11 . 9 A    
  6. Based on this result, select an inductor with saturation current greater than 12A across the full operating temperature range.
