Boost current limit
The design of the external components, especially the inductor and the flywheel diode, must
be optimized in terms of size relying on the programmable peak current limit. The PM6600
improves the reliability of the final application giving the way to limit the maximum current
flowing into the critical components. A simple resistor connected between the BILIM pin and
ground sets the desired value. The voltage at the BILIM pin is internally fixed to 1.2 V and
the current limit is proportional to the current flowing through the setting resistor, according
to the following equation:
Equation 16
where
The maximum allowed current limit is 5 A, resulting in a minimum setting resistor
R
current limitation works by clamping the COMP pin voltage proportionally to R
inductor current is limited to the above threshold decreased by the slope compensation
contribution.
In a boost converter the r.m.s. current through the internal MOSFET depends on both the
input and output voltages, according to equations 15a (DCM) and 15b (CCM).

Enable function
The PM6600 is enabled by the EN pin. This pin is active high and, when forced to SGND,
the device is turned off. This pin is connected to a permanently active 2 μA current source;
when sudden device turn-on at power-up is required, this pin must be left floating or
connected to a delay capacitor. When turned off, the PM6600 quickly discharges the Soft-
Start capacitor and turns off the power-MOSFET, the current generators and the LDO. The
power consumption is thus reduced to 20 μA only.
The proper startup sequence is DIM ' VIN ' EN, or VIN ' DIM ' EN. If the dimming signal is
applied after the EN pin, the device will not perform the soft-start again, in fact it will start
switching with the maximum current limit in order to recover the output voltage.
In applications where the dimming signal is used to turn on and off the device, the EN pin
can be connected to the DIM pin as shown in
