Designing Above a Minimum Current Limit

Some applications require that current-limiting cannot occur below a certain threshold. For this example, assume that 1 A must be delivered to the load so that the minimum desired current-limit threshold is 1000 mA. Use the IOS equations and Figure 8-1 to select RILIM.

  • IOS(min) (mA) = 1000 mA
  • IOS(min) (mA) = (39700 V) / (RILIM (kΩ)) 1.342 + 50
  • RILIM (kΩ) = [(39700 V) / (IOS(min) (mA) - 50)]1/1.342
  • RILIM = 16.14 kΩ

Select the closest 1% resistor less than the calculated value: RILIM = 16 kΩ. This selection sets the minimum current-limit threshold at 1 A . Use the IOC equations, Figure 8-1, and the previously calculated value for RILIM to calculate the maximum resulting current-limit threshold.

  • RILIM = 16 kΩ
  • IOC(max) (mA) = (24500 V) / (RILIM (kΩ)) 0.975 + 50
  • IOC(max) (mA) = (24500 V) / (16 (kΩ))0.975 + 50
  • IOC(max) = 1691 mA

The resulting maximum current-limit threshold is 1.69 A with a 16-kΩ resistor.
