Hello,
I would like to test operation of this device during sustained current limiting. In my application the device is used in a buck converter. I would like to drive the converter such that it goes into current limit operation (causing output voltage to sag) without entering hiccup mode.
My plan is to tie the HICC pin to ground (AVSS) with a 1kOhm resistor (instead of a capacitor), so that charge does not accumulate at the pin. In theory the pin will just see 80mV pulses at the HICC input during current limit operation (due to the 80uA pulse output from the pin). The voltage at the pin should never reach 0.6V so should not enter hiccup mode.
Is this an acceptable approach?
Thanks,
Chad W.
