AVERAGE INPUT ILIMIT PROGRAMMING RESISTOR
SELECTION
The input current limit is user programmable by selection
of an external resistor, R
PROG
. It is important to locate
the resistor as close to the pin as possible to minimize
capacitance and noise pick-up. Resistor tolerance directly
affects the current limit accuracy so it must be factored in
to the application requirements. Table 3 shows standard
resistors for typical current limit values. Also refer to the
graph, “Average Input Current vs R
PROG
”, in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section of this datasheet.

For most applications the loss in accuracy from standard
1% resistors is tolerated but for critical applications the
use of 0.1% resistors is recommended.
