PRODUCTION DATA
The typical method for setting the limit threshold voltage is to connect a resistor from the LIMIT pin to ground. The value of this resistor, RLIMIT, is chosen in order to create a corresponding voltage at the LIMIT pin equivalent to the output voltage, VOUT, when the maximum desired load current is flowing through the current-sensing resistor. An internal 80-µA current source is connected to the LIMIT pin to create a corresponding voltage used to compare to the amplifier output voltage, depending on the value of the RLIMIT resistor.
In the equations from Table 7-1, VTRIP represents the overcurrent threshold that the device is programmed to monitor, and VLIMIT is the programmed signal set to detect the VTRIP level.
