The LX1662/63 devices are very easy to design with, requiring
only a few simple calculations to implement a given design. The
following procedures and considerations should provide effec-
tive operation for virtually all applications. Refer to the Appli-
cation Information section for component reference designa-
tors.
TIMING CAPACITOR SELECTION
The frequency of operation of the LX166x is a function of duty
cycle and OFF-time. The OFF-time is proportional to the timing
capacitor (which is shown as C
this data sheet), and is modulated to minimize frequency
variations with duty cycle. The frequency is constant, during
steady-state operation, due to the modulation of the OFF-time.

component selection).

L
The inductance value chosen determines the ripple current
present at the output of the power supply. Size the inductance
to allow a nominal ±10% swing above and below the nominal DC
load current, using the equation L = V
OFF-time, V
time, and ∆I is peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor. Be
sure to select a high-frequency core material which can handle
the DC current, such as 3C8, which is sized for the correct power
level. Typical inductance values can range from 2 to 10µH.
Exceeding the ripple current rating of the capacitors could cause
reliability problems.
