PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM5161-Q1 provides an intelligent current limit OFF-timer that adjusts the OFF-time to reduce foldback of the current limit. If the peak value of the current in the buck switch exceeds 1.6 A (typical) the present ON-time period is immediately terminated, and a non-resettable OFF-timer is initiated. The length of the OFF-time is controlled by the FB voltage and the input voltage VIN. As an example, when VFB = 0.1-V and VIN = 72-V, the OFF-time is set to 13 μs (typical). This condition would occur if the output is shorted or during the initial phase of start-up. In cases of output overload where the FB voltage is greater than zero volts (a soft short), the current limit OFF-time is reduced. Reducing the OFF-time during less severe overloads reduces the current limit foldback, overload recovery time, and start-up time. The current limit off-time, TOFF(CL) is calculated from Equation 5:
