PRODUCTION DATA.
The VDS threshold where the current limit switches from CL1 to CL2 can be programmed using RD. In general a higher threshold improves ability to ride through voltage steps, brown outs, and other transients. However, a larger setting can also expose the MOSFET to more stress, because the larger current limit is now allowed at higher VDS voltages. If there are no specific voltage step requirements, 20 V is a good starting point. Use the equation below to compute the target RD.
