I'm planning on using an LM61440 as a dynamic current controlled source and am curious to hear any feedback on my approach to modifying the feedback path.
You'll see that I've made a very strong feedback path which will keep the output voltage very low in even if the MCU is checked out, but the MCU can control a NFET which modifies the feedback path and permits higher output voltages. My load is mostly resistive but will also be somewhat dynamic.
Some questions:
1. Should I attempt adding a filtering capacitor to the FB pin to remove any MCU PWM, or is this too much a risk of slowing down the loop response and stability?
2. Are there any other issues I should consider here in effectively interrupting the control loop of the LM61440 by inserting an MCU in the feedback path? I have injected an MCU into a regulator feedback path previously, but not with this specific component.
Looking forward to any feedback as long as it isn't "don't do this"!
