Application Information
CONTINUOUS AND DISCONTINUOUS MODES OF
OPERATION
Since the LM3503 is a constant frequency pulse-width-
modulated step-up regulator, care must be taken to make
sure the maximum duty cycle specification is not violated.
The duty cycle equation depends on which mode of opera-
tion the LM3503 is in. The two operational modes of the
LM3503 are continuous conduction mode (CCM) and dis-
continuous conduction mode (DCM). Continuous conduction
mode refers to the mode of operation where during the
switching cycle, the inductor current never goes to and stays
at zero for any significant amount of time during the switch-
ing cycle. Discontinuous conduction mode refers to the
mode of operation where during the switching cycle, the
inductor current goes to and stays at zero for a significant
amount of time during the switching cycle. Figure 4 illus-
trates the threshold between CCM and DCM operation. In
Figure 4 the inductor current is right on the CCM/DCM
operational threshold. Using this as a reference, a factor can
be introduced to calculate when a particular application is in
CCM or DCM operation. R is a CCM/DCM factor we can use
to compute which mode of operation a particular application
is in. If R is ≥ 1, then the application is operating in CCM.
Conversely, if R is
The R factor inequalities are a result of the components that
