PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The output voltage can be programmed using a resistor di-
vider between the output and the FB pin. The resistors are
selected such that the voltage at the FB pin is 1.26V. Pick

ground) can be selected using the following equation,
A 100pF capacitor may be connected between the feedback
and ground pins to reduce noise.
SETTING THE CURRENT LIMIT
The maximum amount of current that can be delivered to the
load is set by the sense resistor, R
when the voltage that is generated across the sense resistor
equals the current sense threshold voltage, V
this threshold is reached, the switch will be turned off until the
next cycle. Limits for V

This control signal, however, is not a constant value and
changes over the course of a period as a result of the internal

graph also shows the short circuit current limit threshold of
343 mV (typical) during the 325 ns (typical) blanking time. For
higher frequencies this fixed blanking time obviously occupies
more duty cycle, percentage wise. Since current limit thresh-
old varies with duty cycle, the following equation should be
used to select R

To avoid false triggering, the current limit value should have
some margin above the maximum operating value, typically

these two specs could result in an unrealistically wide current

influence on control loop stability. Therefore, once the current
limit threshold is set, loop stability must be verified. As de-
scribed in the slope compensation section, the following must
hold true for a current mode converter to be stable:
To verify that this equation holds true, use the following equa-
tion:
If the selected RSEN is greater than this value, additional
slope compensation must be added to ensure stability, as
described in the section below.

Where R
RSL installed, the control signal includes additional external
slope to stabilize the loop, which will also have an effect on
the current limit threshold. Therefore, the current limit thresh-
