APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Selecting the Load Compensation Resistor
The expression for R

Continuing the example:
This value for R
methods are required for producing the best results.
This is because several of the required input variables
are diffi cult to estimate precisely. For instance, the ESR
term above includes that of the transformer secondary,
but its effective ESR value depends on high frequency
behavior, not simply DC winding resistance. Similarly, K1
appears as a simple ratio of V
but theoretically estimating effi ciency is not a simple
calculation.
The suggested empirical method is as follows:
1. Build a prototype of the desired supply including the
2. Temporarily ground the C
3. Calculate a value for the K1 constant based on V
actual secondary components.

sweeping output current over the expected range.
Approximate the voltage variation as a straight line.

Setting Frequency
The switching frequency of the LTC4278 is set by an
external capacitor connected between the OSC pin and
ground. Recommended values are between 200pF and
33pF , yielding switching frequencies between 50kHz and
250kHz. Figure 12 shows the nominal relationship between
external capacitance and switching frequency. Place the
capacitor as close as possible to the IC and minimize OSC
from the R
