8.5 Coil peak current limitation

The ASL1507SHN; ASL2507SHN offers a function to limit peak current inside the coil

and therefore to limit the input current for the system. Furthermore, this functionality can

be used to avoid magnetic saturation of the coils. It also allows some soft start feature to

be realized with this function.

With the maximum phase current VOx register, the maximum peak current for the

phase can be configured. Once the voltage between pins SNLx and SNHx achieves

maximum level, the gate will be turned off until the next switching cycle. To avoid

subharmonic oscillations when the coil peak current limitation is becoming active, the

slope compensation remains active. It reduces the coil peak current toward the end of the

switching cycle to ensure stable operation of the system.

In order to avoid that this function interferes with the normal regulation, the limit should

be placed well above the maximum expected current.

8.6 Enabling the output voltage

The ASL1507SHN; ASL2507SHN provides two independent output voltages. In

operation mode, the output voltages are turned on with the bit VO1EN and VO2EN.

As soon as one of the outputs is turned on, the VGG voltage regulator is turned on. After

tstartup the gate drivers start switching, provided the bit VGG_OK is set.
