application diagram). That results to an approximate
current limit of 133 A at 100°C for a four phase operation
and 131 A at 25°C. The total sensed current can be
observed as a scaled voltage at the VDRP with a positive
no-load offset of approximately 1.3 V.
Inductor Selection
that the inductor does not saturate by more than 10% at
maximum load. The inductor also must not go into hard
saturation before current limit trips. The demo board
includes a four phase output filter using the T44-8 core
from Micrometals with 3 turns and a DCR target of 0.6 mW
@ 25°C. Smaller DCR values can be used, however,
current sharing accuracy and droop accuracy decrease as
DCR decreases. Use the NCP5392P design aide for
regulation accuracy calculations for specific value of DCR.

Inductor Current Sensing Compensation
method. An RC filter is selected to cancel out the
impedance from inductor and recover the current
information through the inductor's DCR. This is done by
matching the RC time constant of the sensing filter to the
L/DCR time constant. The first cut approach is to use a 0.1
mF capacitor for C and then solve for R.
inductor temperature final selection of R is best done
experimentally on the bench by monitoring the V
and performing a step load test on the actual solution.
