APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Simple Average Input Current Control
A simple average current limit circuit is shown in
Figure 10. Once the input current of the IC is above ap-
proximately 1A, Q1 will start sourcing current into the FB
pin and lower the output voltage to maintain the average
input current. Since the voltage loop is utilized to perform
average current limit, the voltage control loop is main-
tained and the V_C voltage does not slam. The averaging
function of current comes from the fact that voltage loop
compensation is also used with this circuit.
