Functional description
It’s also possible define the output voltage in function of input voltage, on phase time and
switching frequency:
Equation 19
VOUTSet = VIN  DMIN = VIN  T----TO----Sn---MW-----i-n-
So the on phase the equation results:
Equation 20
ITONVFB = -V----I-N-----–-----V----F---B-----------V--------I0---N----.---8------------T--------TO--------SN------W--M--------i---n-----–------L-D----C-----R-----L----+-----R----D----S-----O----N------H----i-g---h---S---i--d---e-----------I  TONMin
Off phase:
Equation 21
ITOFF = –------R-----D---S------O----N-----L---o---w----S----i-d---e---L-+-----D-----C----R-----L-----------I---–-----V----O----U----T-  TSW
It is possible to repeat the considerations realized to the on phase equation. So it's possible
to write the off phase equation in the following manner:
Equation 22
ITOFFVFB = –------R-----D---S------O----N-----L---o---w----S----i-d---e----+-----D-----C----R----L-L-----------I---–-----V----F---B-----------V--------I0---N----.---8------------T--------TO--------SN------W--M--------i---n--  TSW
The peak current escalates over the peak current threshold (called “OCP1”) if :
Equation 23
ITONVFB  ITOFFVFB
In case the current escalates up to a further current threshold (called “OCP2”), slightly
higher than OCP1, the converter stops the switching activity, the reference of the error
amplifier is pulled down and then it restarts with a new soft-start procedure. If the
overcurrent condition is still active, the current foldback with frequency reduction properly
limit the output current.
