For continuous LED currents, the diode junction
temperature can be estimated:
External Schottky diode junction temperature
should be below 110ºC, and may vary depending
Selecting the Boost Inductor
The AAT1235 controller utilizes hysteretic control
and the switching frequency varies with output load
and input voltage. The value of the inductor deter-
mines the maximum switching frequency of the
boost converter. Increased output inductance
decreases the switching frequency, resulting in high-
er peak currents and increased output voltage rip-
ple. To maintain 2MHz maximum switching frequen-
cy and stable operation, an output inductor selected
between 1.5µH and 2.7µH is recommended.

Where V
not known or not provided by the manufacturer, a
starting value of 0.5V can be used.
Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor
DC current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and
peak inductor current rating, which is determined
by the saturation characteristics. Measurements at
full load and high ambient temperature should be
performed to ensure that the inductor does not sat-
urate or exhibit excessive temperature rise.

heat-sinking metal around the anode may degrade
EMI performance. The reverse leakage current of
the rectifier must be considered to maintain low
quiescent (input) current and high efficiency under
light load. The rectifier reverse current increases
dramatically at elevated temperatures.
The output inductor (L) is selected to avoid saturation
at minimum input voltage and maximum output load
conditions. Peak current may be estimated using the
following equation, assuming continuous conduction
mode. Worst-case peak current occurs at minimum
input voltage (maximum duty cycle) and maximum
load. Switching frequency (F

At light load and low output voltage, the controller

reduction in output load does not reduce the peak
current. Minimum peak current can be estimated
between 0.5A and 0.75A.
At high load and high output voltages, the switch-
