The second method for setting the out-of-range threshold is to directly drive the LIMITx pins with a programmable DAC or other external voltage source. The benefit of this method is the ability to adjust the current-limit threshold to account for different threshold voltages used for different system operating conditions. For example, this method can be used in a system with one current-limit threshold level that must be monitored during a power-up sequence, but different threshold levels must be monitored during other system operating modes.
The voltage applied at the LIMITx pins sets the threshold voltage for out-of-range detection. The value of the voltage for a given desired current trip point is calculated using Equation 4:
where
NOTE
The maximum voltage that can be applied to the LIMIT2 pin is VS – 0.6 V and the maximum voltage that can be applied to the LIMIT1 pin must not exceed VS.
