Figure 2.
The blue trace is the current with 470 µH inductor and the purple trace is the current with a
1000 µH inductor.
On the above scope plot in
inductor. Current charges up the inductor during the time the MOSFET is on. At this time,
the source pin is the same as the rectified line input and the current is ramping up. At 350
mA output current, the peak of the current is 550 mA for a 470 µH inductor, the blue trace.
The worse case condition for the VIPer Idlim is 560 mA. So therefore we are close to the
pulse by pulse current limit trip point. This is manifested by the output voltage dropping as
the output current is being raised past the limit. 470 µH inductor is the minimum value that
can be used from the calculations for a 350 mA output. A good compromise is a 1000 µH
making the swing less, keeping the peak at 443 mA, away from the 560 mA current limit.
Looking at the purple trace the turn-on losses are increased and the turn-off losses are
decreased in the MOSFET inside the VIPer.
It is best to choose the inductor to give ½ the ripple current between discontinuous to
continuous. This is the best compromise when working close to the maximum current. The
trade-off is a little more heat for the safety margin away from the current trip point.
VIPer temperature rise with two different inductors at 350 mA is:
