8.3.5 Adjustable Peak Current Limit

To avoid an accidental large peak current, an internal cycle-by-cycle current limit is adopted. The low-side switch turns off immediately as long as the peak switch current touches the limit. The peak inductor current can be set by selecting the correct external resistor value correlating with the required current limit. Use Equation 2 to calculate the correct resistor value for the TPS61089.

Equation 2. GUID-19C0394C-DE7B-4331-BBDC-856B491DC1B6-low.gif

where

  • RILIM is the resistance connected between the ILIM pin and ground
  • ILIM is the switch peak current limit

For a typical current limit of 8 A, the resistor value is 127 kΩ for the TPS61089.
