ZHCSCR7A June 2014 – November 2020 TPS2559
PRODUCTION DATA
The previous sections described the selection of R(ILIM) given certain application requirements and the importance of understanding the current-limit threshold tolerance. The analysis focused only on the TPS2559 is bounded by an upper and lower tolerance centered on a nominal resistance. The additional RILIM resistance tolerance directly affects the current-limit threshold accuracy at a system level. Table 9-2 lists a process that accounts for worst-case resistor tolerance assuming 1% resistor values.
Step one follows the selection process outlined in the application examples above.
Step two determines the upper and lower resistance bounds of the selected resistor.
Step three uses the upper and lower resistor bounds in the IOS equations to calculate the threshold limits.
It is important to use tighter tolerance resistors, that is, 0.5% or 0.1%, when precision current limiting is desired.
