Foldback Current Limit Programming
Foldback Current Limit can be achieved using the circuit
below.
The onset of Foldback current limit (I
fb1
) can be programmed
using the formula below as can the actual end point (I
fb2
).
To set the final Foldback current limit point (I
fb2
), the value R
1
in
parallel with R
2
is equivalent to R
Itrim
in the previous Straight Line
current limit example.
To set I
fb1
, point, we must calculate the ratio of R
1
to R
2
.
To get the value of R

VD is the voltage drop across BAW56W. This can be assumed
to be 0.53V for most calculations, however it will vary slightly
due to temperature. Refer to BAW56W datasheet for further
details.
If Current Limit is Less than 85% of Maximum Current:
VD
=0.53 (11)
If Current Limit is Greater than 85% of Maximum Current:

Example:
To set the foldback current limit of an XgH set at 5V to the
following levels, I
fb1
=30A and I
fb2
=30A, determine the values
of R
1
to R

required.
F = 0.0468 for XgH
CF = 1.042 for XgH
I

= 36A for XgH
I

Example:
To set the current limit of XgH to 20A, determine the external
voltage to be applied to the I
trim
pin.
I
lim
= 20A
F = 0.0468 for XgH
CF = 1.043 for XgH
I
max
= 36A for XgH (Imax = max current rating of XgH)

Note that application of any voltage >2.5V to I
