8.3.8 Analog Load Current Monitor (IMON) on the IOCP Pin

The device allows the system to monitor the output load current accurately by providing an analog current on the IOCP/IMON pin, which is proportional to the current through the FET. The resistor on IOCP/IMON pin converts this current into voltage and this voltage can be used for monitoring the output current. Output current can be calculated from voltage at IOCP/IMON pin by using Equation 7.
