Design Example
As a design example, assume V
22V(max), V
The inductance value is chosen first based on a 30% ripple
current assumption. The highest value of ripple current
occurs at the maximum input voltage. Tie the PLLLPF pin
to GND, generating 250kHz operation. The minimum
inductance for 30% ripple current is:
A 4.7μH inductor will produce 23% ripple current and a
3.3μH will result in 33%. The peak inductor current will be
the maximum DC value plus one half the ripple current, or
5.84A, for the 3.3μH value. Increasing the ripple current
will also help ensure that the minimum on-time of 180ns
is not violated. The minimum on-time occurs at maxi-
mum V
The R
maximum current sense voltage specification with some
accommodation for tolerances:
Choosing 1% resistors: R1 = 25.5k and R2 = 32.4k yields
an output voltage of 1.816V.
The power dissipation on the top side MOSFET can be
easily estimated. Choosing a Fairchild FDS6982S dual
MOSFET results in: R
= 215pF. At maximum input voltage with T(estimated)
= 50°C:
