10.3.8.2 Cycle-by-Cycle Buck Current Limit

The buck regulator cycle-by-cycle current limit on both the peak and valley of the inductor current.

High-side MOSFET overcurrent protection is implemented by the nature of the peak current mode control. The HS switch current is sensed when the HS is turned on after a set blanking time. The HS switch current is compared to the output of the Error Amplifier (EA) minus slope compensation every switching cycle. The peak current of HS switch is limited by a clamped maximum peak current threshold IHS_LIMIT which is constant. So the peak current limit of the high-side switch is not affected by the slope compensation and remains constant over the full duty cycle range.

The current going through LS MOSFET is also sensed and monitored. When the LS switch turns on, the inductor current begins to ramp down. The LS switch does not turn OFF at the end of a switching cycle if its current is above the LS current limit ILS_LIMIT. The LS switch is be kept ON so that inductor current keeps ramping down, until the inductor current ramps below the LS current limit ILS_LIMIT. Then the LS switch turns OFF and the HS switch turns on after a dead time. This action is somewhat different than the more typical peak current limit, and results in Equation 10 for the maximum load current.
