PRODUCTION DATA
Some applications require that current limiting must occur below a certain threshold. For this example, assume that 2.9 A must be delivered to the load so that the minimum desired current-limit threshold is 2900 mA. Use the IOS equations (Equation 1) and Figure 9-5 to select RILIM as shown in Equation 5.
Select the closest 1% resistor greater than the calculated value: RILIM = 36 kΩ. This sets the maximum current-limit threshold at 2894 mA as shown in Equation 6.
Use the IOS equations, Figure 9-5, and the previously calculated value for RILIM to calculate the minimum resulting current-limit threshold as shown in Equation 7.
The resulting minimum current-limit threshold minimum is 2592 mA and maximum is 2894 mA with RILIM = 36 kΩ ± 1%.
