following equations to calculate the required ESR and

response time of the controller. Controller response
time depends on the control-loop bandwidth.
In addition to the average current limit, the
MAX5060/MAX5061 also have hiccup current limit. The
hiccup current limit is set to 10% below the average
current limit to ensure that the circuit goes in hiccup
mode during continuous output short circuit.
Connecting a resistor from LIM to ground increases the
hiccup current limit, while shorting LIM to ground dis-
ables the hiccup current-limit circuit.
The average-current-mode control technique of the
MAX5060/MAX5061 accurately limits the maximum out-
put current. The MAX5060/MAX5061 sense the voltage
across the sense resistor and limit the peak inductor
current (I

select a non-inductive resistor with the appropriate
power rating.
The hiccup current-limit value is always 10% lower than
the average current-limit threshold, when LIM is left
unconnected. Connect a resistor from LIM to SGND to
increase the hiccup current-limit value from 90% to

current-limit architecture accurately limits the average
output current to its current-limit threshold. If the hiccup
current limit is programmed to be equal or above the
average current-limit value, the output current will not
reach the point where the hiccup current limit can trig-
ger. Program the hiccup current limit at least 5% below
the average current limit to ensure that the hiccup cur-
rent-limit circuit triggers during overload. See the

The MAX5060 limits the reverse current in case V
higher than the preset output voltage. Calculate the
maximum reverse current based on V
current-limit threshold and the current-sense resistor.

The main control loop consists of an inner current loop
and an outer voltage loop. The MAX5060/MAX5061 use
an average current-mode control scheme to regulate
the output voltage (Figure 5). I

ling voltage for this current source. The inner current
loop absorbs the inductor pole reducing the order of
the outer voltage loop to that of a single-pole system.
A resistive feedback network around the VEA provides
the best possible response, since there are no capaci-
tors to charge and discharge during large-signal excur-
sions. R

is the value of the sense resistor.
When designing the current-control loop ensure that
the inductor downslope (when it becomes an upslope
at the CEA output) does not exceed the ramp slope.
This is a necessary condition to avoid sub-harmonic
oscillations similar to those in peak current-mode con-
trol with insufficient slope compensation.
