Setting the Current Sense Resistor R8
According to the equation of the output current, the current sense resistor R8 is determined:
R8  k  ^{Vcs _ ref}
  I_{o _ mean}
Transformer Selection
The typical non-isolated buck circuit in Figure 1 is usually selected, and the system is operating at boundary conduction mode. The switching
frequency at the crest is set as fmin, the inductance can be calculated as below:
(
L
2 V_{in_ rms} V_o )  R8 V_o
V_{cs _ ref}  2 V_{in _ rms}  f_min
Where,
V_o is the output voltage.
V_{in _ rms} is the RMS value of the input voltage.
According to Ferrari's law of electromagnetic induction, the winding turns number of the buck inductance NL is:

L V_{cs _ ref}
A_e  B_m  R8
Where,
A_e is the core effective area.
B_m is the maximum magnetic flux density.
The auxiliary winding is power supply for VCC, the winding turns number Naux is:

V_o  V_d
Where,
VCC is the power supply voltage for IC from auxiliary winding.
Vd is the voltage drop of the freewheel diode.
Setting the Initial On Time
As the AP1694A adopts constant on time control method, the AP1694A will generate an initial on time to start a working cycle. If the initial on time
is longer than the rated on time, overshoot will happen. The initial on time is determined by resister R1 shown in Figure 1.
According to initial on time generation mechanism, the ton_initial is:
t_{on_initial}  80 R110^12 s
To guarantee the system with no overshoot phenomenon, the resistor R1 is selected:
R₁  _R8
