LM10524: Current lifts / max currents

Part Number: LM10524

All.

For the LM10524:

For Ioutmax, can I get the typical values?

Also is Ipeak the current level where the current limit triggers.

Thanks,

Regards,

Joe

    Joe,

    For IOUT-MAX, there are footnotes (4), (5), and (6) where footnote 4 contains the answer:

    (4) Specification ensured by design. Not tested during production

    We do not have data for this value. In newer parts, this IOUT-MAX value is moved to "Recommended Operating Conditions" because it is not a value that is monitored by the device. For example, we are recommending that you do not exceed 1.6A DC average load current for BUCK1.

    IPEAK is the critical parameter, and it is saying that the FET will not shut off before the current through the FET reaches the Min value. For BUCK1, the FET is guaranteed to allow at least 1.9A without shutting down due to over-current. Typically, this is not a spec with tight tolerance. If the output were accidentally shorted, IPEAK prevents damage from occurring. This is why the Max is only guaranteed as 2.8A
