General Circuit Operation (cont.)
The line and load regulation graphs were
measured on the circuit shown in Figure
6. The switching frequency of the power
supply was measured at 230 kHz.
The maximum output power curve shows
the power output capability for a 470 µH
output filter inductor (L1).
The output power versus frequency curve
was generated by characterization of the
SMP402 at various frequencies. The
SMP402
curve demonstrates the trade-off between
AC and DC power losses within the
device. As AC losses rise with frequency,
DC losses and output power must be
reduced to maintain the same device
maximum power dissipation.
