Application Information
Setting I
The MIC2009/2019’s current limit is user programmable
and controlled by a resistor connected between the I
pin and Ground. The value of this resistor is determined
by the following equation:
or
Looking in the Electrical specifications we will find CLF
at I
the typical value of CLF at an I
Applying the equation above:
Designers should be aware that variations in the
measured I
because of small differences between individual ICs
(inherent in silicon processing) resulting in a spread of
I
value of CLF to calculate R
spread by using the minimum and maximum values of
CLF and the calculated value of R

The MIC2009/2019’s’s current limiting circuitry is
designed to act as a constant current source to the load.
