Referencing Figure 2, the equation for setting the output
voltage is:
Current Limit Circuit
Current limiting of the SC480 can be accomplished in two
ways. The on-state resistance of the low-side MOSFETs
can be used as the current sensing element, or a sense
resistor in the low-side source can be used if greater ac-
curacy is desired. RDSON sensing is more effi cient and
less expensive. In both cases, the R
the ILIM pin and LX sets the over-current threshold. This
resistor R
the SC480 which is turned on when the low-side MOSFET
turns on. When the voltage drop across the sense resistor
or low-side MOSFET equals the voltage across the R
tor, current limit will activate. The high-side MOSFET will
not be allowed to turn on until the voltage drop across the
sense element (resistor or MOSFET) falls below the voltage
across the R
The current sensing circuit actually regulates the inductor
valley current, see Figure 3. This means that if the current
limit is set to 10A, the peak current through the inductor
would be 10A plus the peak ripple current, and the average
current through the inductor would be 10A plus 1/2 the
peak-to-peak ripple current.

Similarly, for resistor sensing, the current through the lower

that opposes the voltage developed across R
