PRODUCTION DATA
Leaving the ISET pin unconnected damages the device. Connecting ISET directly to V– is not recommended because direct connection programs the current limit far beyond the 1.5A capability of the device and causes excess power dissipation. The minimum recommended value for RSET is 7.5kΩ, which programs the maximum current limit to approximately 1.9A. The maximum value for RSET is 55kΩ, which programs the minimum current limit to approximately 0.4A. The simplest method for adjusting the current limit (ILIM) uses a resistor or potentiometer connected between the ISET pin and V–, according to Equation 1.
If ILIM has been defined, solve for RSET by rearranging Equation 1 into Equation 3:
RSET in combination with a 5kΩ internal resistor determines the magnitude of a small current that sets the desired output current limit.
Figure 7-1 shows a simplified schematic of the OPA564-Q1 current limit architecture.
