Applications Information

Output Voltage Setting

The external resistor divider sets the output voltage.The feedback resistor R1 also sets the

feedback loop bandwidth with the internal compensation capacitor.

Choose R1 around 300kâ¦ for optimal transient response. R2 is then given by:

R2 ï½ R1

VOUT ï 1

0.6V

Inductor Selection

A 1ÂµH to 10ÂµH inductor with DC current rating at least 25% higher than the maximum load

current is recommended for most applications.For best efficiency, the inductor DC resistance shall

be<200mâ¦.

For most designs, the inductance value can be derived from the following equation:

L ï½ VOUT ï´ (VIN ï VOUT )

VIN ï´ ïI L ï´ fOSC

Where âIL is the inductor ripple current. Choose inductor ripple current approximately 30% of the

maximum load current, 600mA.

The maximum inductor peak current is:

I L(MAX)

ï½

I LOAD

ï«

ïI L

Under light load conditions below 100mA, larger inductance is recommended for improved

efficiency.

Input Capacitor Selection

The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input and switching noise from the

device. The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency shall be less than input source

impedance to prevent high frequency switching current passing to the input. Ceramic capacitors

with X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended because of their low ESR and small

temperature coefficients. For most applications, a 4.7ÂµF capacitor is sufficient.

Output Capacitor Selection

The output capacitor keeps output voltage ripple small and ensures regulation loop stable. The

output capacitor impedance shall be low at the switching frequency. Ceramic capacitor with X5R

or X7R dielectrics are recommended. The output ripple âVOUT is approximately:
