Figure 29. Valley current sense operation in overcurrent condition

Figure 29. Valley current sense operation in overcurrent condition shows the switching frequency reduction during

the valley current sense operation in case of extremely low duty cycle (VIN = 12 V, fSW = 2 MHz short-circuit

condition).

In a worst case scenario (like Figure 29. Valley current sense operation in overcurrent condition) of the

overcurrent protection the switch current is limited to:

IMAX=IVALLEYTH+VIN−VOUT

L ⋅TMASKHS

(15)

where IVALLEY_TH is the current threshold of the valley sensing circuitry (see Table 5. Electrical characteristics TJ

= - 40 to 135 °C, VIN = 12 V unless otherwise specified.) and TMASK_HS is the masking time of the high-side

switch 100 ns typ.).

In most of the overcurrent conditions the conduction time of the high-side switch is higher than the masking time

and so the peak current protection limits the switch current.
