APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Setting Feedback Resistive Divider
The expression for V
tion is rearranged to yield the following expression for the
feedback resistors:
Continuing the example, if ESR + R
3.32k, then:
choose 37.4k.
It is recommended that the Thevenin impedance of the
resistive divider (R1||R2) is roughly 3k for bias current
cancellation and other reasons.
Current Sense Resistor Considerations
The external current sense resistor is used to control peak
primary switch current, which controls a number of key
converter characteristics including maximum power and
external component ratings. Use a noninductive current
sense resistor (no wire-wound resistors). Mounting the
resistor directly above an unbroken ground plane con-
nected with wide and short traces keeps stray resistance
and inductance low.
The dual sense pins allow for a fully Kelvined connection.
Make sure that SENSE
nect close to the sense resistor to preserve this.
Peak current occurs at 98mV of sense voltage V
the nominal sense resistor is V
peak switch current of 10A requires a nominal sense resistor
of 0.010Ω. Note that the instantaneous peak power in the
sense resistor is 1W, and that it is rated accordingly. The
use of parallel resistors can help achieve low resistance,
low parasitic inductance and increased power capability.

cal methods are required for producing the best results.
This is because several of the required input variables are
difficult to estimate precisely. For instance, the ESR term
above includes that of the transformer secondary, but its
effective ESR value depends on high frequency behavior,
not simply DC winding resistance. Similarly, K1 appears
as a simple ratio of V

simple calculation.
The suggested empirical method is as follows:
