JAJSB09K January 2010 – February 2018 LM27402
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM27402 exploits the filter inductor DCR (DC resistance) to detect overcurrent events. This technique enables lossless and continuous monitoring of the output current using an RC sense network in parallel with the inductor. DCR current sensing allows the system designer to use inductors specified with tight tolerance DCRs to improve the current limit setpoint accuracy. A DC current limit setpoint accuracy within the range of 10% to 20% is achieved using inductors with low DCR tolerances.
