Setting the Current Limit
The main regulator current limit is set externally through
a small current-sense resistor, R
CS
(Figure 1). The
value of R
CS
can be calculated with the following equa-
tion:
R
CS
= V
CLM
/ (1.3
✕
I
OUT
)
where V
CLM
= 80mV is the current-sense threshold,
and I
OUT
is the current delivered to the output. The
core and backup converter current limits are set inter-
nally and cannot be modified.
Careful layout of the current-sense signal traces is
imperative. Place R
CS
as close to the MAX1774 as pos-
sible. The two traces should have matching length and
width, be as far as possible from noisy switching sig-
