APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
a >100MHz oscilloscope must be used, and waveforms
should be observed on the leads of the package. This
switch off spike will also cause the SW node to go below
ground. The LT1766 has special circuitry inside which
mitigates this problem, but negative voltages over 0.8V
lasting longer than 10ns should be avoided. Note that
100MHz oscilloscopes are barely fast enough to see the
details of the falling edge overshoot in Figure 7.
A second, much lower frequency ringing is seen during
switch off-time if load current is low enough to allow the
inductor current to fall to zero during part of the switch
off-time (see Figure 8). Switch and diode capacitance
resonate with the inductor to form damped ringing at 1MHz
to 10 MHz. This ringing is not harmful to the regulator
and it has not been shown to contribute signifi cantly to
EMI. Any attempt to damp it with a resistive snubber will
degrade effi ciency.
THERMAL CALCULATIONS
Power dissipation in the LT1766 chip comes from four
sources: switch DC loss, switch AC loss, boost circuit cur-
rent, and input quiescent current. The following formulas
show how to calculate each of these losses. These formulas
assume continuous mode operation, so they should not
be used for calculating effi ciency at light load currents.
