Current Limit Operation

The TLV61070A uses a valley current limit sensing scheme. Current limit detection occurs during the off time by sensing of the voltage drop across the synchronous rectifier.

When the load current is increased such that the inductor current is above the current limit within the whole switching cycle time, the off-time is increased to allow the inductor current to decrease to this threshold before the next on time begins (so called frequency foldback mechanism). When the current limit is reached, the output voltage decreases during further load increase.

The maximum continuous output current (IOUT(LC)) before entering current limit (CL) operation can be defined by Equation 1.

Equation 1. GUID-35F92B35-1B95-465A-B3A7-42CAB1300CAF-low.gif

where

  • D is the duty cycle
  • ΔIL(P-P) is the inductor ripple current

The duty cycle can be estimated by Equation 2.

Equation 2. GUID-AF93CA9B-C275-47C2-AE62-878F1A145F03-low.gif

where

  • VOUT is the output voltage of the boost converter
  • VIN is the input voltage of the boost converter
  • η is the efficiency of the converter, use 90% for most applications

The peak-to-peak inductor ripple current is calculated by Equation 3.

Equation 3. GUID-3B1A9A14-21ED-450A-949B-DB44BBA5DB54-low.gif

where

  • L is the inductance value of the inductor
  • fSW is the switching frequency
  • D is the duty cycle
  • VIN is the input voltage of the boost converter
