PRODUCTION DATA
The RILIM resistor sets the valley current limit. Equation 16 and Equation 17 calculate the recommended current limit target. This includes the tolerance of the inductor and a factor of 0.9 for the tolerance of the current limit threshold. This example uses an estimation of 10% tolerance. Refer to the specification table for tolerance across different RILIM values. Equation 19 calculates the RILIM resistor to set the current limit. The typical valley current limit target is 30.6A and the closest standard value for RILIM is 4.32kΩ.
With the current limit set, Equation 20 calculates the typical maximum output current at current limit. Equation 21 calculates the typical peak current at current limit. As mentioned in Choose the Inductor, the saturation behavior of the inductor at the peak current during current limit must be considered. For worst case calculations, the tolerance of the inductance and the current limit must be included.
