PRODUCTION DATA.
Short-circuit protection is programmed using the RILIM resistor. Selection of this resistor depends on the RDS(on) of the switching MOSFET and the required short circuit current trip point, ISCP. The minimum ISCP must exceed the sum of the output current, the peak ripple current, and the output capacitor charging current during start up. Equation 30 gives this minimum.
The minimum short circuit current trip point for this design is set to 14 A. Equation 33 is then used to calculate the minimum RILIM value.
RILIM is calculated to be 12.6 kΩ . The closest standard value of 12.7 kΩ is used. The minimum and maximum short circuit current can be calculated using Equation 34 and Equation 35 .
The minimum ISCP is 14 A and the maximum is 46 A.
