PM6680
An internal 100 µA current source is connected to CSENSE pin and determines a voltage
drop on R
drop, the controller doesn't initiate a new cycle. A new cycle starts only when the sensed
current goes below the current limit.
Since the current limit circuit is a valley current limit, the actual peak current limit is greater
than the current limit threshold by an amount equal to the inductor ripple current. Moreover
the maximum output current is equal to the valley current limit plus half of the inductor ripple
current:
Equation 6
The output current limit depends on the current ripple, as shown in
Figure 34. Current waveforms in current limit conditions
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 R
Equation 7
Where I
Consider the temperature effect and the worst case value in R
The accuracy of the valley current threshold detection depends on the offset of the internal
comparator (∆V
