Sub-1Ω resistors are available in both 1% and 5% tolerance.
A 1%, 0.33Ω device is the closest value, and a 0.33W, 1206
size device will handle the power dissipation of 162 mW. With
the resistance selected, the average value of LED current is
re-calculated to ensure that current is within the ±5% toler-
ance requirement. From the expression for average LED
current:
INPUT CAPACITOR
Following the calculations from the Input Capacitor section,
Δv
quired capacitance is:
To provide additional safety margin the a higher value of 3.3
µF ceramic capacitor rated to 50V with X7R dielectric in an
1210 case size will be used. From the Design Considerations
section, input rms current is:
Ripple current ratings for 1210 size ceramic capacitors are
typically higher than 2A, more than enough for this design.
RECIRCULATING DIODE
The input voltage of 24V ±5% requires Schottky diodes with
a reverse voltage rating greater than 30V. The next highest
standard voltage rating is 40V. Selecting a 40V rated diode
provides a large safety margin for the ringing of the switch
node and also makes cross-referencing of diodes from differ-
ent vendors easier.
The next parameters to be determined are the forward current
rating and case size. In this example the low duty cycle (D =
7.1 / 24 = 28%) places a greater thermal stress on D1 than
on the internal power MOSFET of the LM3404. The estimated
average diode current is:
A Schottky with a forward current rating of 1A would be ade-
quate, however reducing the power dissipation is critical in
this example. Higher current diodes have lower forward volt-
ages, hence a 2A-rated diode will be used. To determine the
proper case size, the dissipation and temperature rise in D1

can be calculated as shown in the Design Considerations

as:
C
The bootstrap capacitor C
capacitor with X7R dielectric. A 25V rating is appropriate for
all application circuits. The linear regulator filter capacitor C
should always be a 100 nF ceramic capacitor, also with X7R
dielectric and a 25V rating.
EFFICIENCY
To estimate the electrical efficiency of this example the power
dissipation in each current carrying element can be calculated
and summed. Electrical efficiency, η, should not be confused
with the optical efficacy of the circuit, which depends upon the
LEDs themselves.
