7.3.3 Load-line (Droop)
The TPS59632-Q1 features programmable droop enabling significant reduction of output capacitors. Figure 10 shows the output voltage droop with increasing load current.
Equation 1.
where
- RCS(eff) is the effective current sense resistance, when using either a sense resistor or inductor DCR
- ACS is the gain of the current sense amplifier
- ICC is the load current
- ADROOP is the DROOP gain (see Equation 2)
Equation 2.
where
- resistor, RDROOP is connected between the DROOP pin and the COMP pin
- resistor RCOMP is connected between the COMP pin and the VREF pin
This load-line aids in the transient performance as discussed in the following section.
