APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
inductor ripple current gets too high above 16V, and the
400ns minimum off-time is limited below 9V.
Equations for setting frequency:
tOFF = 2µs – 1.32ns ≅ 760ns
tON and tOFF are above the minimums with adquate guard
band.
ION = VIN – 0.7V/110k; for 5V input, ION = 39µA
frequency = (ION/[2.4V • 10pF]) • DC; DC = duty cycle,
duty cycle is (VOUT/VIN)
t = tON + tOFF, tON = on-time, tOFF = off-time of the
switching period; t = 1/frequency
tOFF must be greater than 400ns, or t – tON > 400ns.
tON = DC • t
~450kHz frequency or 2.22µs period is chosen for 5V to
3.3V. Frequency range is about 450kHz to 650kHz from
4.5V to 7V input.
Using the frequency = (ION/[2.4V • 10pF]) • DC, solve for
ION = (450kHz • 2.4V • 10pF) • (1/0.66) ≅ 16µA. ION current
calculated from 5V input was 39µA, so a resistor from fADJ
to ground = (0.7V/30.1k) = 23µA. 39µA – 23µA = 16µA,
sets the adequate ION current for proper frequency range
for the higher duty cycle conversion of 5V to 3.3V. Input
voltage range is limited to 4.5V to 7V. Higher input voltages
can be used without the 30.1k on fADJ. The inductor ripple
current gets too high above 7V, and the 400ns minimum
off-time is limited below 4.5V.
tON = 0.66 • 2.22µs ≅ 1.46ns
