The MAX17582 integrates the difference between the
current-sense voltages and adjusts the on-time of the
secondary phase to maintain current balance. The cur-
rent balance now relies on the accuracy of the current-
sense resistors instead of the inaccurate, thermally
sensitive on-resistance of the low-side MOSFETs. With
active current balancing, the current mismatch is deter-
mined by the current-sense resistor values and the offset
voltage of the transconductance amplifiers:

ance offset specification in the Electrical Characteris-
tics table.
The worst-case current mismatch occurs immediately
after a load transient due to inductor value mismatches
resulting in different di/dt for the two phases. The time it
takes the current-balance loop to correct the transient
imbalance depends on the mismatch between the
inductor values and switching frequency.
The current-limit circuit employs a unique “valley” cur-
rent-sensing algorithm that uses current-sense resistors
between the current-sense inputs (CSP_ to CSN_) as
the current-sensing elements. If the current-sense sig-
nal of the selected phase is above the current-limit
threshold, the PWM controller does not initiate a new
cycle until the inductor current of the selected phase
drops below the valley current-limit threshold. When
either phase trips the current limit, both phases are
effectively current limited since the interleaved con-
troller does not initiate a cycle with either phase.
Since only the valley current is actively limited, the actu-
al peak current is greater than the current-limit thresh-
old by an amount equal to the inductor ripple current.
Therefore, the exact current-limit characteristic and
maximum load capability are a function of the current-
sense resistance, inductor value, and battery voltage.
When combined with the undervoltage-protection cir-
cuit, this current-limit method is effective in almost
every circumstance.

The positive valley current-limit threshold voltage at
CSP_ to CSN_ equals precisely 1/10 of the differential
TIME to ILIM voltage over a 0.1V to 0.5V range (10mV
to 50mV current-sense range). Connect ILIM directly to
V
22.5mV (typ).
The negative current-limit threshold (forced-PWM mode
only) is nominally -125% of the corresponding valley
current-limit threshold. When the inductor current drops
below the negative current limit, the controller immedi-
ately activates an on-time pulse—DL_ turns off and
DH_ turns on—allowing the inductor current to remain
above the negative-current threshold.
Carefully observe the PCB layout guidelines to ensure
that noise and DC errors do not corrupt the current-sense
signals seen by the current-sense inputs (CSP_, CSN_).
The MAX17582 includes a transconductance amplifier
for adding gain to the voltage-positioning sense path.
The amplifier’s input is generated by summing the cur-
rent-sense inputs, which differentially sense the voltage
across either current-sense resistors or the inductor’s
DCR. The amplifier’s output connects directly to the reg-
ulator’s voltage-positioned feedback input (FB), so the
resistance between FB and the output-voltage sense
point determines the voltage-positioning gain:
