8.3.13.1 Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting

If the peak inductor current increases above the high-side current limit threshold, the device turns off the high-side switch and turns on the low-side switch to ramp down the inductor current. The device only turns on the high-side switch again if the inductor current has decreased below the low-side current limit threshold.

Note that because of the propagation delay of the current limit comparator, the current limit threshold in practice can be greater than the DC value specified in the Electrical Characteristics. The current limit in practice is given by:

Equation 3.
TPS62870 TPS62871 TPS62872 TPS62873

where:

  • IL is the inductor current.
  • ILIMH is the high-side current limit threshold measured at DC.
  • VIN is the input voltage.
  • VOUT is the output voltage.
  • L is the effective inductance at the peak current level.
  • tpd is the propagation delay of the current limit comparator (typically 5ns).
