APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Example: with V

OUTPUT DIVIDER
Refer to Applications Information Feedback Pin Functions
to calculate R1 and R2 for the (negative) output voltage
(from Table 1).
Inductor Value
The criteria for choosing the inductor is typically based on
ensuring that peak switch current rating is not exceeded.
This gives the lowest value of inductance that can be
used, but in some cases (lower output load currents) it
may give a value that creates unnecessarily high output
ripple voltage.
The diffi culty in calculating the minimum inductor size
needed is that you must fi rst decide whether the switcher
will be in continuous or discontinuous mode at the critical
point where switch current reaches 1.5A. The fi rst step is
to use the following formula to calculate the load current
above which the switcher must use continuous mode. If
your load current is less than this, use the discontinuous

mode formula to calculate minimum inductor needed. If
load current is higher, use the continuous mode formula.
Output current where continuous mode is needed:
Minimum inductor discontinuous mode:
Minimum inductor continuous mode:
For a 40V to –12V converter using the LT1766 with peak
switch current of 1.5A and a catch diode of 0.63V:
For a load current of 0.25A, this says that discontinuous
mode can be used and the minimum inductor needed is
found from:
In practice, the inductor should be increased by about
30% over the calculated minimum to handle losses and
variations in value. This suggests a minimum inductor of
18μH for this application.
Ripple Current in the Input and Output Capacitors
Positive-to-negative converters have high ripple current
in the input capacitor. For long capacitor lifetime, the RMS
value of this current must be less than the high frequency
ripple current rating of the capacitor. The following formula
will give an approximate value for RMS ripple current. This
formula assumes continuous mode and large inductor
value . Small inductors will give somewhat higher ripple
current, especially in discontinuous mode. The exact
formulas are very complex and appear in Application
