Applications Information
Design Example
As a design example, take a supply with the following
specifications: VIN = 5V to 36V (12V nominal), VOUT =
2.5V ±5%, IOUT(MAX) = 10A, f = 550kHz. First, calculate
the timing resistor with VON = VOUT:
RON
=
2.5V
(2.4)(550kHz)
(10pF)
=
187k
and choose the inductor for about 40% ripple current at
the maximum VIN:
L
=
2.5V
(550kHz)(0.4)(10A)
⎛⎝⎜
1−
2.5V
36V
⎞⎠⎟
=
1µH
Selecting a standard value of 1μH results in a maximum
ripple current of:
ΔIL
=
2.5V
(550kHz)(1µH)
⎛⎝⎜
1–
2.5V
12V
⎞⎠⎟
=
3.6A
Next, set up VRNG voltage and check the ILIMIT. Tying
VRNG to 1V will set the typical current limit to 15A, and
tying VRNG to GND will result in a typical current around
10A. CIN is chosen for an RMS current rating of about 5A
at 85°C. The output capacitors are chosen for a low ESR
of 0.013Ω to minimize output voltage changes due to
inductor ripple current and load steps. The ripple voltage
will be only:
ΔVOUT(RIPPLE) = ΔIL(MAX) (ESR)
= (3.6A) (0.013Ω) = 47mV
However, a 0A to 10A load step will cause an output
change of up to:
ΔVOUT(STEP) = ΔILOAD (ESR) = (10A) (0.013Ω) =130mV
An optional 22μF ceramic output capacitor is included
to minimize the effect of ESL in the output ripple. The
complete circuit is shown in Figure 6.
