PRODUCTION DATA
An external resistor senses the current through the inductor. The current sense resistor pins (S1 and S2) are fed into an internal differential amplifier which supports the range of VBUCK1 voltages. The sense resistor RS must be chosen so that the maximum forward peak current in the inductor generates a voltage of 75 mV across the sense pins. This specified typical value is for low duty cycles only. At typical duty-cycle conditions around 28% (assuming 3.8-V output and 12-V input), 60 mV is a more reasonable value, considering tolerances and mismatches. The typical characteristics (see Figure 7-2) provide a guide for using the correct current-limit sense voltage.
Optimal slope compensation which is adaptive to changes in input voltage and duty cycle allows stable operation at all conditions. In order to specify optimal performance of this circuit, the following condition must be satisfied in the choice of inductor and sense resistor:

The current sense pins S1 and S2 are high impedance pins with low leakage across the entire VBUCK1 range. This allows DCR current sensing (see Figure 8-2) using the DC resistance of the inductor for better efficiency.
For selecting the output capacitance and its ESR resistance, the following set of equations can be used:
