PRODUCTION DATA
Negative current is sensed in the low-side MOSFET while it is conducting after a short blanking time to allow noise to settle. Whenever the low-side negative overcurrent threshold is exceeded, the low-side MOSFET is immediately turned off. The next high-side MOSFET turn-on is determined by the clock and PWM comparator. The negative overcurrent threshold minimum value is 7 A. Similar to the positive inductor current protections, the actual value of the inductor current when the current sense comparators trip is a function of the current ramp rate. As a result, the current at which the negative inductor current limit takes effect can be slightly more negative than specified.
