7.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

To keep the 1A nominal current in the 0V to 4V current-sense range, calculate the R(SNS) resistor using Equation 7. To achieve better current-sense accuracy, a 1% tolerance or better resistor is preferred.

Equation 7. VADC,min × KSNS / ILOAD,min ≤ RSNS ≤ (VSNSFH - VHR) × KSNS / ILOAD,max

The design requirement listed in Table 7-2 yields 520Ω ≤ RSNS ≤ 4160Ω, and 1kΩ RSNS satisfies the requirements.

To set the adjustable current limit value, use the R(ILIM) recommended in the Current Limit Table. In this application, to leave enough margin for the current transient and ripple, a 9.76kΩ RILIM resistor satisfies the requirements.
