APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Solution
Lower the switching frequency at lower input voltages to
allow for higher duty cycles, and meet the 400ns mini-
mum off-time at 4.5V input voltage. The off-time should
be about 500ns with 100ns guard band. The duty cycle
for (3.3V/4.5) = ~73%. Frequency = (1 – DC)/t
(1 – 0.73)/500ns = 540kHz. The switching frequency
needs to be lowered to 540kHz at 4.5V input. t

be placed from V
current out of the f
=1.5V and V
into the f
This enables the 540kHz operation and the 4.5V to 28V
input operation for down converting to 3.3V output. The
frequency will scale from 540kHz to 1.1 MHz over this
input range. This provides for an effective output current
of 8A over the input range.
