JAJSIP2B November 2018 – December 2020 TPS55288
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS55288 implements both peak current and average inductor current limit by a resistor connected to the ILIM pin. The average current mode control loop uses the current sense information at the high-side MOSFET of the boost leg to clamp the maximum average inductor current to 16.5 A (typical) when the resistor is 20 kΩ. Use large resistance to get smaller average inductor current limit. Use Equation 5 to calculate the resistance for a desired average inductor current limit.
where
Besides the average current limit, a peak current limit protection is implemented during transient to protect the device against over current condition beyond the capability of the device.
