lowing equation. The MOSFET must be mounted on a
board as per manufacturer specifications to dissipate
the heat.
The RMS current rating of the switching MOSFET Q1 is
calculated as follows for boost and boost-buck configu-
rations:

The MOSFET Q1 will dissipate power due to both
switching losses as well as conduction losses. The con-
duction losses in the MOSFET is calculated as follows:
where R
an assumed junction temperature of +100°C, P
in watts, and IL
Use the following equations to calculate the switching

Use a Schottky diode as the rectifier (D1) for fast
switching and to reduce power dissipation. The select-
ed Schottky diode must have a voltage rating 20%
above the maximum converter output voltage. The max-
imum converter output voltage is V

The current rating of the diode should be greater than

Select a dimming MOSFET (Q2) with continuous current
rating at +70°C, higher than the LED current by 30%.
The drain-to-source voltage rating of the dimming
MOSFET must be higher than V
The LED current control loop comprising of the switch-
ing converter, the LED current amplifier, and the error
amplifier should be compensated for stable control of
the LED current. The switching converter small-signal
transfer function has a right half-plane (RHP) zero for
both boost and boost-buck configurations as the induc-
tor current is in continuous conduction mode. The RHP
zero adds a 20dB/decade gain together with a 90°
phase lag, which is difficult to compensate. The easiest
way to avoid this zero is to roll off the loop gain to 0dB
at a frequency less than one-fifth of the RHP zero fre-
quency with a -20dB/decade slope.
The worst-case RHP zero frequency (f
ed as follows:

The switching converter small-signal transfer function
also has an output pole for both boost and boost-buck
configurations. The effective output impedance that
determines the output pole frequency together with the
output filter capacitance is calculated as:
