APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Other losses, including C
conduction loss during dead time and inductor core loss
generally account for less than 2% additional loss.
When making adjustments to improve efficiency, the
input current is the best indicator of changes in efficiency.
If you make a change and the input current decreases, then
the efficiency has increased. If there is no change in input
current, then there is no change in efficiency.
Checking Transient Response
The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at
the load transient response. Switching regulators take
several cycles to respond to a step in load current. When
a load step occurs, V
equal to ∆I
resistance of C
discharge C
the regulator to return V
During this recovery time, V
overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability prob-
lem. The I
will provide adequate compensation for most applica-
tions. For a detailed explanation of switching control loop
theory see Application Note 76.
Design Example

Selecting a standard value of 1.8µH results in a maximum

Next, choose the synchronous MOSFET switch. Choosing

Tying V
for a nominal value of 110mV with current limit occurring
at 146mV. To check if the current limit is acceptable,
assume a junction temperature of about 80°C above a
70°C ambient with ρ
and double check the assumed T
Because the top MOSFET is on for such a short time, an
Si4884 R
40°C/W will be sufficient. Checking its power dissipation
at current limit with ρ
The junction temperatures will be significantly less at
nominal current, but this analysis shows that careful
attention to heat sinking will be necessary in this circuit.
