Functional description

L5988D

The typical active thresholds in case of ILIM-ADJ pin left floating are IPEAK_TH = 4.0 A,

IVALLEY_TH = 4.7 A. The dimensioning of the pull up resistor versus VREF to decrease the

peak (and valley) thresholds follows the formula:

Equation 8

R9 = 4----.-0---1--–-·.--2--I--P---E-1--A-0--K--5-_---T---H-

In the same way the pull down resistor is selected using the following formula to increase

the maximum current thresholds:

Equation 9

R3 = -I-P---2-E--.-A-7-·-K-0--_-6-T---H----1-–---0--4-5--.--0-
