The LM3402/02HV regulators should be operated in contin-
uous conduction mode (CCM), where inductor current stays
positive throughout the switching cycle. During steady-state
operationin the CCM, the converter maintains a constant
switching frequency, which can be selected using the follow-
ing equation:

At low switching frequency the maximum duty cycle and out-
put voltage are higher, allowing the LM3402/02HV to regulate
output voltages that are nearly equal to input voltage. The
following equation relates switching frequency to maximum
output voltage.
MINIMUM OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The minimum recommended on-time for the LM3402/02HV is
300 ns. This lower limit for t
cycle and output voltage that can be regulated based on input
voltage and switching frequency. The relationship is deter-
