PRODUCTION DATA
Some applications require that current limiting not occur below a certain threshold. For this example, assume that 3 A must be delivered to the load so that the minimum desired current-limit threshold is 3 000 mA. Use the IOS equations and Figure 10-2 to select R(ILIM).
Select the closest 1% resistor less than the calculated value: R(ILIM) = 33.6 kΩ. This sets the minimum current-limit threshold at 3 000 mA . Use the IOS equations, Figure 10-2, and the previously calculated value for R(ILIM) to calculate the maximum resulting current-limit threshold.
The resulting maximum current-limit threshold is 3 564 mA with a 33.6-kΩ resistor.
