The device implements current mode control, which uses the COMP pin voltage to control the turn-off of the high-side MOSFET and the turn-on of the low-side MOSFET on a cycle-by-cycle basis. Each cycle the switch current and the current reference generated by the COMP pin voltage are compared. When the peak switch current intersects the programmed high side current, IOC_HS1, the high-side switch is immediately turned off (although the high side will be on for at least the minimum on time, tON).
HS1 is implemented utilizing the COMP voltage. As the device approaches IOC_HS1, COMP increases which causes the gmps of the device to approach zero. Therefore, at high enough values of COMP, the output current is essentially clamped to the selected value. This functionality is shown in the simplified waveforms of Figure 8-17.
The high side 1 overcurrent protection (HS1) threshold value is selectable between four distinct current limits by utilizing the ILIM pin. By limiting the current to a specific value, an inductor may be appropriately sized to handle the maximum current.
The overcurrent limit is programmed by the voltage on the ILIM pin as a percentage of AVDD (LDOCAP output). Therefore, a resistor divider from AVDD to GND should feed ILIM. Table 8-4 shows suggested resistor divider values. Other values using the same ratio are also acceptable. Table 8-4 also shows suggested maximum DC output currents for a selected current limit (though the precise amount of output current supported depends on the ripple current for a given configuration).
