PRODUCTION DATA
PCL resistor, RPCL, sets the overcurrent limit activation point and can be calculated per Equation 3.
where
Figure 8-3 shows the output load current (ILOAD) versus PCL terminal current (IPCL) varied with minimum and maximum range of CSR values by temperature. The RPCL resistor should be chosen to set the worst case ILOAD across system normal operating load and temperature range without reaching overcurrent activation point of IPCL · RPCL ≥ VREF.
Additionally, a suitable resistor RCS must be chosen to ensure the CS terminal is within its operating range of 0.3 V to VIN and VCS needs to be greater than 0.9 · VREF (0.544 V) to insure foldback remains enabled when current activation point is triggered.
The maximum PCL is 3.5 A. The range of resistor that can be used on the PCL terminal to GND is 8.2 kΩ to 160 kΩ. It is not recommended to use overcurrent limit activation thresholds of less than 500 mA due to internal bias offset currents representing a larger percentage of total IPCLcurrent and therefore additional error.
