The MAX8655 has an adjustable valley current limit, con-
figurable for foldback with automatic recovery, or con-
stant-current limit with latch-up. To set the constant-
current limit for the latch-up mode, connect a single
resistor R

This allows a maximum DC output current of:
where R
To ensure maximum output current, use the minimum
value of V
values at the highest expected operating temperature.
The DC resistance of the inductor’s copper wire has a
+0.38%/°C temperature coefficient.
An RC circuit is connected across the inductor (see
Figure 8). The RC time constant is set to be 1.1 to 1.2
times the inductor (L/R
of C9 in the 0.1µF to 0.47µF range, and then calculate
R1 from:
Add a resistor (R2 in Figure 8) to the CS- connection to
minimize input offset error. Calculate the value of R2 as
follows:
