9.2.4 Application 4: Two-Level Current-Limit Circuit

Some applications require different current-limit thresholds depending on external system conditions. Figure 29 shows an implementation for an externally controlled, two-level current-limit circuit. The current-limit threshold is set by the total resistance from ILIM to GND (see Programming the Current-Limit Threshold). A logic-level input enables and disables MOSFET Q1 and changes the current-limit threshold by modifying the total resistance from ILIM to GND. Additional MOSFET/resistor combinations can be used in parallel to Q1/R2 to increase the number of additional current-limit levels.

NOTE

ILIM should never be driven directly with an external signal.
