ZHCSGJ8B April 2017 – October 2017 LM36010
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM36010 features two selectable inductor current limits, 1.9A and 2.8A, programmable through the I2C-compatible interface by writing to Register 0x01 bit [5] . When the inductor current limit is reached, the LM36010 terminates the charging phase of the switching cycle and sets the OCP flag (bit [4]) of Flags Register (0x05). However, the mode M1, M0 (bits [1:0]) are not cleared as the device operates at current limit. Switching resumes at the start of the next switching period.
In pass mode, there is no mechanism to limit the current as the current does not flow through the NMOS, which senses the current limit.
In the boost mode or the pass mode, if VOUT falls below 2.3 V, the device stops switching, and the PFET operates as a current source limiting the current to 200 mA. This prevents the LM36010 from drawing excessive current from the battery during output short-circuit conditions.
