PRODUCTION DATA
Some applications require that current limiting cannot occur below a certain threshold. For this example, assume that 2.1 A must be delivered to the load so that the minimum desired current-limit threshold is 2100 mA. Use the IOS equations (Equation 1) and Figure 9-4 to select RILIM as shown in Equation 2.
Select the closest 1% resistor less than the calculated value: RILIM = 42.2 kΩ. This sets the minimum current-limit threshold at 2130 mA as shown in Equation 3.
Use the IOS equations (Equation 1), Figure 9-4, and the previously calculated value for RILIM to calculate the maximum resulting current-limit threshold as shown in Equation 4.
The resulting current-limit threshold minimum is 2130 mA and maximum is 2479 mA with RILIM = 42.2kΩ ± 1%.
