PM6680A
7.7
Being fixed the valley threshold, the greater the current ripple is, greater the DC output
current is The valley current limit can be set with resistor RCSENSE:
Equation 7
Where I
Consider the temperature effect and the worst case value in RDSon calculation.
The accuracy of the valley current threshold detection depends on the offset of the internal
comparator (∆V
Equation 8
Where RSNS is the sensing element(RDSon)
PM6680A provides also a fixed negative peak current limit to prevent an excessive reverse
inductor current when the switching section sinks current from the load in PWM mode. This
negative current limit threshold is measured between PHASE and SGND pins, comparing
the magnitude drop on the PHASE node during the conduction time of the low side
MOSFET with an internal fixed voltage of 120 mV.
The negative valley-current limit I
Equation 9
Soft start and soft end
Each switching section is enabled separately by asserting high EN1/EN2 pins respectively.
In order to realize the soft start, at the startup the overcurrent threshold is set 25 % of the
nominal value and the undervoltage protection (see related sections) is disabled. The
controller starts charging the output capacitor working in current limit. The overcurrent
threshold is increased from 25 % to 100 % of the nominal value with steps of 25 % every
700 µs (typ.). After 2.8 ms (typ.) the undervoltage protection is enabled. The soft start time is
not programmable. A minimum capacitor C
