at high input voltage or during a short circuit when the
duty cycle in this switch is nearly 100%. Refer to the

characteristics. The constant k = 2.5 can be used to
estimate the contributions of the two terms in the main
switch dissipation equation.
The Schottky diode D1 shown in Figure 1 serves two
purposes. During continuous synchronous operation, D1
conducts during the dead-time between the conduction of
the two large power MOSFETs. This prevents the body
diode of the bottom MOSFET from turning on and storing
charge during the dead-time, which could cost as much as
1% in efficiency. During low current operation, D1 oper-
ates in conjunction with the small top MOSFET to provide
an efficient low current output stage. A 1A Schottky is
generally a good compromise for both regions of opera-
tion due to the relatively small average current.

monly used for design because even significant deviations
do not offer much relief. Note that capacitor manufacturer’s
ripple current ratings are often based on only 2000 hours
of life. This makes it advisable to further derate the
capacitor, or to choose a capacitor rated at a higher
temperature than required. Several capacitors may also be
paralleled to meet size or height requirements in the
design. Always consult the manufacturer if there is any
question.

ment is satisified, the capacitance is adequate for filtering.

Manufacturers such as Nichicon, United Chemicon and
Sanyo should be considered for high performance through-
hole capacitors. The OS-CON semiconductor dielectric
capacitor available from Sanyo has the lowest ESR (size)
product of any aluminum electrolytic at a somewhat
higher price. Once the ESR requirement for C
met, the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the
I
In surface mount applications multiple capacitors may
have to be paralleled to meet the ESR or RMS current
handling requirements of the application. Aluminum elec-
trolytic and dry tantalum capacitors are both available in
surface mount configurations. In the case of tantalum, it is
critical that the capacitors are surge tested for use in
switching power supplies. An excellent choice is the AVX
TPS series of surface mount tantalums, available in case
heights ranging from 2mm to 4mm. Other capacitor types
