When the

mode, the internal current-limit threshold is set to 300 mV
(typical) and the negative valley current-limit threshold is set to
450 mV (typical). When the
in boost (recycle) mode, the internal current-limit threshold is
set to 500 mV (typical). The external resistor (R
offset the current properly to detect the peak in both buck and
boost operation. Set the R
