L6722 7 Output voltage positioning
19/34
Time constant matching between the inductor (L / DCR) and the current reading filter
( ) is required to implement a real equivalent output impedance of the system so
avoiding over and/or under shoot of the output voltage as a consequence of a load transient. In
fact, considering the scheme reported on Figure 9, it is possible to observe that:
By applying the time constant matching concept, it results:

implementing the load regulation dependence. The output characteristic vs. load current is
then given by (Offset disabled):
Where R
LL
is the resulting load-line resistance implemented by the system.
The whole power supply can be then represented by a "real" voltage generator with an
equivalent output resistance R
LL
and a voltage value of VID.

resistor can be then designed according to the R

specifications as follow:
Warning: Droop function is operational for output voltages up to 1.8V.
Caution: Droop function is optional, in case it is not desired, the Current Sense circuit can be tricked so
that the device always read a null current. To do this, it is enough connecting CS+ directly to the
output voltage leaving CS- unconnected. The reaction will keep CS+ and CS- at the same
voltage, always reading a null current and also assuring the FB disconnection protection to be
effective. To aovid setting the FB-disconnection protection, it is also suggested to connect CS+
to local-V
OUT
through the same resistor divider used as external divider (See Figure 1).
To disable also the FB disconnection protection, CS+ can be directly connected to VSEN or
SGND.
