Applications Information
MOSFET results in: RDS(ON) = 13mΩ (max), VMILLER =
2.6V, CMILLER ≅ 150pF. At maximum input voltage with TJ

A Renesas RJK0330DPB, RDS(ON) = 3.9mΩ, is chosen for
the bottom FET. The resulting power loss is:

CIN is chosen for an RMS current rating of at least 7.5A at
temperature assuming only channel 1 or 2 is on. COUT is
chosen with an equivalent ESR of 4.5mΩ for low output
ripple. The output ripple in continuous mode will be highest
at the maximum input voltage. The output voltage ripple
due to ESR is approximately:
VORIPPLE = RESR (∆IL) = 0.0045Ω • 6.8A = 31mVP–P
Further reductions in output voltage ripple can be made
by placing a 100µF ceramic across COUT.
