CURRENT LIMIT TRANSIENT SUPPRESSION
When noise spikes and switching transients interfere with proper current limit operation, R1 and C1 act together
as a low pass filter to control the current limit circuitry's response time.
Because the sense current of the current limit terminal varies according to where it is referenced, R1 should be
less than 2 kΩ when referenced to ground, and less than 100Ω when referenced to Vin.

C.L. SENSE VOLTAGE MULTIPLICATION
When a larger sense resistor value is desired, the voltage divider network, consisting of R1 and R2, may be
used. This effectively multiplies the sense voltage by (1 + R1/R2). Also, R1 can be replaced by a diode to
increase current limit sense voltage to about 800 mV (diode Vf + 110 mV).
