The LT®8301 is a micropower isolated flyback converter.
By sampling the isolated output voltage directly from
the primary-side flyback waveform, the part requires no
third winding or opto-isolator for regulation. The output
voltage is programmed with a single external resistor. Internal compensation and soft-start further reduce external
component count. Boundary mode operation provides a
small magnetic solution with excellent load regulation.
Low ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency
at light load while minimizing the output voltage ripple. A
1.2A, 65V DMOS power switch is integrated along with
all high voltage circuitry and control logic into a 5-lead
ThinSOT™ package.
n
The LT8301 operates from an input voltage range of 2.7V
to 42V and can deliver up to 6W of isolated output power.
The high level of integration and the use of boundary
and low ripple burst modes result in a simple to use, low
component count, and high efficiency application solution
for isolated power delivery.

PIN FUNCTIONS
EN/UVLO (Pin 1): Enable/Undervoltage Lockout. The
EN/UVLO pin is used to enable the LT8301. Pull the pin
below 0.2V to shut down the LT8301. This pin has an accurate 1.228V threshold and can be used to program a VIN
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold using a resistor
divider from VIN to ground. A 2.5µA current hysteresis
allows the programming of VIN UVLO hysteresis. If neither
function is used, tie this pin directly to VIN.
GND (Pin 2): Ground. Tie this pin directly to local ground
plane.
RFB (Pin 3): Input Pin for External Feedback Resistor. Connect a resistor from this pin to the transformer primary
SW pin. The ratio of the RFB resistor to an internal 10k
resistor, times a trimmed 1.0V reference voltage, determines the output voltage (plus the effect of any non-unity
transformer turns ratio). Minimize trace area at this pin.
SW (Pin 4): Drain of the 65V Internal DMOS Power Switch.
Minimize trace area at this pin to reduce EMI and voltage
spikes.
VIN (Pin 5): Input Supply. The VIN pin supplies current
to internal circuitry and serves as a reference voltage for
the feedback circuitry connected to the RFB pin. Locally
bypass this pin to ground with a capacitor.

OPERATION
The LT8301 is a current mode switching regulator IC designed specially for the isolated flyback topology. The key
problem in isolated topologies is how to communicate the
output voltage information from the isolated secondary
side of the transformer to the primary side for regulation.
Historically, opto-isolators or extra transformer windings
communicate this information across the isolation boundary. Opto-isolator circuits waste output power, and the
extra components increase the cost and physical size of
the power supply. Opto-isolators can also cause system
issues due to limited dynamic response, nonlinearity, unitto-unit variation and aging over lifetime. Circuits employing
extra transformer windings also exhibit deficiencies, as
using an extra winding adds to the transformer’s physical
size and cost, and dynamic response is often mediocre.
The LT8301 samples the isolated output voltage through
the primary-side flyback pulse waveform. In this manner,
neither opto-isolator nor extra transformer winding is required for regulation. Since the LT8301 operates in either
boundary conduction mode or discontinuous conduction
mode, the output voltage is always sampled on the SW
pin when the secondary current is zero. This method improves load regulation without the need of external load
compensation components.

LT8301
OPERATION
The LT8301 is a simple to use micropower isolated flyback
converter housed in a 5-lead TSOT-23 package. The output
voltage is programmed with a single external resistor. By
integrating the loop compensation and soft-start inside, the
part further reduces the number of external components.
As shown in the Block Diagram, many of the blocks are
similar to those found in traditional switching regulators
including reference, regulators, oscillator, logic, current
amplifier, current comparator, driver, and power switch.
The novel sections include a flyback pulse sense circuit,
a sample-and-hold error amplifier, and a boundary mode
detector, as well as the additional logic for boundary
conduction mode, discontinuous conduction mode, and
low ripple Burst Mode operation.
Boundary Conduction Mode Operation
The LT8301 features boundary conduction mode operation
at heavy load, where the chip turns on the primary power
switch when the secondary current is zero. Boundary
conduction mode is a variable frequency, variable peakcurrent switching scheme. The power switch turns on
and the transformer primary current increases until an
internally controlled peak current limit. After the power
switch turns off, the voltage on the SW pin rises to the
output voltage multiplied by the primary-to-secondary
transformer turns ratio plus the input voltage. When the
secondary current through the output diode falls to zero,
the SW pin voltage collapses and rings around VIN. A
boundary mode detector senses this event and turns the
power switch back on.
Boundary conduction mode returns the secondary current
to zero every cycle, so parasitic resistive voltage drops
do not cause load regulation errors. Boundary conduction mode also allows the use of smaller transformers
compared to continuous conduction mode and does not
exhibit sub-harmonic oscillation.
Discontinuous Conduction Mode Operation
As the load gets lighter, boundary conduction mode increases the switching frequency and decreases the switch
peak current at the same ratio. Running at a higher switching
frequency up to several MHz increases switching and gate
charge losses. To avoid this scenario, the LT8301 has an
additional internal oscillator, which clamps the maximum
switching frequency to be less than 430kHz (typ). Once
the switching frequency hits the internal frequency clamp,
the part starts to delay the switch turn-on and operates in
discontinuous conduction mode.
Low Ripple Burst Mode Operation
Unlike traditional flyback converters, the LT8301 has to
turn on and off at least for a minimum amount of time
and with a minimum frequency to allow accurate sampling
of the output voltage. The inherent minimum switch current limit and minimum switch-off time are necessary to
guarantee the correct operation of specific applications.
As the load gets very light, the LT8301 starts to fold back
the switching frequency while keeping the minimum switch
current limit. So the load current is able to decrease while
still allowing minimum switch-off time for the sampleand-hold error amplifier. Meanwhile, the part switches
between sleep mode and active mode, thereby reducing the
effective quiescent current to improve light load efficiency.
In this condition, the LT8301 operates in low ripple Burst
Mode. The 10kHz (typ) minimum switching frequency
determines how often the output voltage is sampled and
also the minimum load requirement.

LT8301
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Output Voltage
The RFB resistor as depicted in the Block Diagram is the
only external resistor used to program the output voltage.
The LT8301 operates similar to traditional current mode
switchers, except in the use of a unique flyback pulse
sense circuit and a sample-and-hold error amplifier, which
sample and therefore regulate the isolated output voltage
from the flyback pulse.
Operation is as follows: when the power switch M1 turns
off, the SW pin voltage rises above the VIN supply. The
amplitude of the flyback pulse, i.e., the difference between
the SW pin voltage and VIN supply, is given as:
VFLBK = (VOUT + VF + ISEC • ESR) • NPS
VF = Output diode forward voltage
ISEC = Transformer secondary current
ESR = Total impedance of secondary circuit
NPS =Transformer effective primary-to-secondary
turns ratio
The flyback voltage is then converted to a current IRFB by
the flyback pulse sense circuit (M2 and M3). This current
IRFB also flows through the internal 10k RREF resistor to
generate a ground-referred voltage. The resulting voltage feeds to the inverting input of the sample-and-hold
error amplifier. Since the sample-and-hold error amplifier
samples the voltage when the secondary current is zero,
the (ISEC • ESR) term in the VFLBK equation can be assumed to be zero.
An internal trimmed reference voltage,VIREF 1.0V, feeds
to the non-inverting input of the sample-and-hold error
amplifier. The relatively high gain in the overall loop causes
the voltage across RREF resistor to be nearly equal to VIREF.
The resulting relationship between VFLBK and VIREF can
be expressed as:
 VFLBK 
 R  •RREF = VIREF
FB
or
V

VFLBK =  IREF  •RFB =IRFB •RFB
 RREF 
VIREF = Internal trimmed reference voltage
IRFB = RFB regulation current = 100µA
Combination with the previous VFLBK equation yields an
equation for VOUT, in terms of the RFB resistor, transformer
turns ratio, and diode forward voltage:
R 
VOUT = 100µA •  FB  − VF
 NPS 
Output Temperature Coefficient
The first term in the VOUT equation does not have temperature dependence, but the output diode forward voltage VF
has a significant negative temperature coefficient (–1mV/°C
to –2mV/°C). Such a negative temperature coefficient produces approximately 200mV to 300mV voltage variation
on the output voltage across temperature.
For higher voltage outputs, such as 12V and 24V, the output
diode temperature coefficient has a negligible effect on the
output voltage regulation. For lower voltage outputs, such
as 3.3V and 5V, however, the output diode temperature
coefficient does count for an extra 2% to 5% output voltage
regulation. For customers requiring tight output voltage
regulation across temperature, please refer to other LTC
parts with integrated temperature compensation features.

LT8301
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Selecting Actual RFB Resistor Value
Output Power
The LT8301 uses a unique sampling scheme to regulate
the isolated output voltage. Due to the sampling nature,
the scheme contains repeatable delays and error sources,
which will affect the output voltage and force a re-evaluation
of the RFB resistor value. Therefore, a simple two-step
process is required to choose feedback resistor RFB.
A flyback converter has a complicated relationship between
the input and output currents compared to a buck or a
boost converter. A boost converter has a relatively constant
maximum input current regardless of input voltage and a
buck converter has a relatively constant maximum output
current regardless of input voltage. This is due to the
continuous non-switching behavior of the two currents. A
flyback converter has both discontinuous input and output
currents which make it similar to a non-isolated buck-boost
converter. The duty cycle will affect the input and output
currents, making it hard to predict output power. In addition, the winding ratio can be changed to multiply the
output current at the expense of a higher switch voltage.
Rearrangement of the expression for VOUT in the Output
Voltage section yields the starting value for RFB:
RFB =
(
N PS • VOUT + VF
100µA
)
VOUT = Output voltage
VF = Output diode forward voltage = ~0.3V
NPS =Transformer effective primary-to-secondary
turns ratio
Power up the application with the starting RFB value and
other components connected, and measure the regulated
output voltage, VOUT(MEAS). The final RFB value can be
adjusted to:
VOUT
RFB(FINAL) =
•R
VOUT(MEAS) FB
Once the final RFB value is selected, the regulation accuracy
from board to board for a given application will be very
consistent, typically under ±5% when including device
variation of all the components in the system (assuming
resistor tolerances and transformer windings matching
within ±1%). However, if the transformer or the output
diode is changed, or the layout is dramatically altered,
there may be some change in VOUT.
The graphs in Figures 1 to 4 show the typical maximum
output power possible for the output voltages 3.3V, 5V,
12V, and 24V. The maximum output power curve is the
calculated output power if the switch voltage is 50V during the switch-off time. 15V of margin is left for leakage
inductance voltage spike. To achieve this power level at
a given input, a winding ratio value must be calculated to
stress the switch to 50V, resulting in some odd ratio values.
The curves below the maximum output power curve are
examples of common winding ratio values and the amount
of output power at given input voltages.
One design example would be a 5V output converter with
a minimum input voltage of 8V and a maximum input voltage of 32V. A three-to-one winding ratio fits this design
example perfectly and outputs equal to 5.42W at 32V but
lowers to 2.71W at 8V.
The following equations calculate output power:

Primary Inductance Requirement
The LT8301 obtains output voltage information from the
reflected output voltage on the SW pin. The conduction
of secondary current reflects the output voltage on the
primary SW pin. The sample-and-hold error amplifier needs
a minimum 450ns to settle and sample the reflected output
voltage. In order to ensure proper sampling, the secondary winding needs to conduct current for a minimum of
450ns. The following equation gives the minimum value
for primary-side magnetizing inductance:

Figure 4. Output Power for 24V Output
In addition to the primary inductance requirement for
the minimum switch-off time, the LT8301 has minimum
switch-on time that prevents the chip from turning on
the power switch shorter than approximately 170ns. This
minimum switch-on time is mainly for leading-edge blanking the initial switch turn-on current spike. If the inductor
current exceeds the desired current limit during that time,
oscillation may occur at the output as the current control
loop will lose its ability to regulate. Therefore, the following
equation relating to maximum input voltage must also be
followed in selecting primary-side magnetizing inductance:
tOFF(MIN) = Minimum switch-off time = 450ns
ISW(MIN) = Minimum switch current limit = 290mA (typ)
LPRI ≥

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In general, choose a transformer with its primary magnetizing inductance about 30% larger than the minimum
values calculated above. A transformer with much larger
inductance will have a bigger physical size and may cause
instability at light load.
Linear Technology has worked with several leading magnetic component manufacturers to produce pre-designed
flyback transformers for use with the LT8301. Table 1
shows the details of these transformers.
Selecting a Transformer
Note that when choosing the RFB resistor to set output
voltage, the user has relative freedom in selecting a transformer turns ratio to suit a given application. In contrast,
the use of simple ratios of small integers, e.g., 3:1, 2:1,
1:1, provides more freedom in settling total turns and
mutual inductance.
Transformer specification and design is perhaps the most
critical part of successfully applying the LT8301. In addition
to the usual list of guidelines dealing with high frequency
isolated power supply transformer design, the following
information should be carefully considered.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Typically, choose the transformer turns ratio to maximize
available output power. For low output voltages (3.3V or
5V), a larger N:1 turns ratio can be used with multiple
primary windings relative to the secondary to maximize the
transformer’s current gain (and output power). However,
remember that the SW pin sees a voltage that is equal
to the maximum input supply voltage plus the output
voltage multiplied by the turns ratio. In addition, leakage
inductance will cause a voltage spike (VLEAKAGE) on top of
this reflected voltage. This total quantity needs to remain
below the 65V absolute maximum rating of the SW pin to
prevent breakdown of the internal power switch. Together
these conditions place an upper limit on the turns ratio,
NPS, for a given application. Choose a turns ratio low
enough to ensure:
NPS <
65V − VIN(MAX) − VLEAKAGE
Saturation Current
The current in the transformer windings should not exceed
its rated saturation current. Energy injected once the core is
saturated will not be transferred to the secondary and will
instead be dissipated in the core. When designing custom
transformers to be used with the LT8301, the saturation
current should always be specified by the transformer
manufacturers.
Winding Resistance
Resistance in either the primary or secondary windings
will reduce overall power efficiency. Good output voltage
regulation will be maintained independent of winding resistance due to the boundary/discontinuous conduction
mode operation of the LT8301.
Leakage Inductance and Snubbers
VOUT + VF
For lower output power levels, choose a smaller N:1 turns
ratio to alleviate the SW pin voltage stress. Although a
1:N turns ratio makes it possible to have very high output
voltages without exceeding the breakdown voltage of the
internal power switch, the multiplied parasitic capacitance
through turns ratio may cause the switch turn-on current
spike ringing beyond 170ns leading-edge blanking, thereby
producing light load instability in certain applications. So
any 1:N turns ratio should be fully evaluated before its
use with the LT8301.
The turns ratio is an important element in the isolated
feedback scheme, and directly affects the output voltage
accuracy. Make sure the transformer manufacturer specifies turns ratio accuracy within ±1%.
Transformer leakage inductance on either the primary or
secondary causes a voltage spike to appear on the primary
after the power switch turns off. This spike is increasingly
prominent at higher load currents where more stored energy must be dissipated. It is very important to minimize
transformer leakage inductance.
When designing an application, adequate margin should
be kept for the worst-case leakage voltage spikes even
under overload conditions. In most cases shown in Figure 5, the reflected output voltage on the primary plus VIN
should be kept below 50V. This leaves at least 15V margin
for the leakage spike across line and load conditions. A
larger voltage margin will be required for poorly wound
transformers or for excessive leakage inductance.
In addition to the voltage spikes, the leakage inductance
also causes the SW pin ringing for a while after the power
switch turns off. To prevent the voltage ringing falsely triggering the boundary mode detector, the LT8301 internally
blanks the boundary mode detector for approximately
350ns. Any remaining voltage ringing after 350ns may
turn the power switch back on again before the secondary current falls to zero. So the leakage inductance spike
ringing should be limited to less than 350ns.

Figure 6. Snubber Circuits
A snubber circuit is recommended for most applications.
Two types of snubber circuits shown in Figure 6 that can
protect the internal power switch include the DZ (diodeZener) snubber and the RC (resistor-capacitor) snubber. The
DZ snubber ensures well defined and consistent clamping
voltage and has slightly higher power efficiency, while the
RC snubber quickly damps the voltage spike ringing and
provides better load regulation and EMI performance.
Figure 5 shows the flyback waveforms with the DZ and
RC snubbers.
For the DZ snubber, proper care must be taken when
choosing both the diode and the Zener diode. Schottky
diodes are typically the best choice, but some PN diodes
can be used if they turn on fast enough to limit the leakage inductance spike. Choose a diode that has a reversevoltage rating higher than the maximum SW pin voltage.
The Zener diode breakdown voltage should be chosen to
balance power loss and switch voltage protection. The best
compromise is to choose the largest voltage breakdown.
Use the following equation to make the proper choice:
VZENER(MAX) ≤ 65V – VIN(MAX)
For an application with a maximum input voltage of 32V,
choose a 20V Zener diode, the VZENER(MAX) of which is
around 21V and below the 33V maximum.
The power loss in the clamp will determine the power rating of the Zener diode. Power loss in the clamp is highest
at maximum load and minimum input voltage. The switch
current is highest at this point along with the energy stored
in the leakage inductance. A 0.25W Zener will satisfy most
applications when the highest VZENER is chosen.

The recommended approach for designing an RC snubber
is to measure the period of the ringing on the SW pin when
the power switch turns off without the snubber and then
add capacitance (starting with 100pF) until the period of
the ringing is 1.5 to 2 times longer. The change in period
will determine the value of the parasitic capacitance, from
which the parasitic inductance can be determined from
the initial period, as well. Once the value of the SW node
capacitance and inductance is known, a series resistor can
be added to the snubber capacitance to dissipate power
and critically dampen the ringing. The equation for deriving
the optimal series resistance using the observed periods
( tPERIOD and tPERIOD(SNUBBED)) and snubber capacitance
(CSNUBBER) is:
CPAR =
CSNUBBER

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
A resistive divider from VIN to the EN/UVLO pin implements undervoltage lockout (UVLO). The EN/UVLO pin
falling threshold is set at 1.228V with 14mV hysteresis.
In addition, the EN/UVLO pin sinks 2.5µA when the voltage at the pin is below 1.228V. This current provides user
programmable hysteresis based on the value of R1. The
programmable UVLO thresholds are:
1.242V •(R1+R2)

LT8301
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Minimum Load Requirement
The LT8301 samples the isolated output voltage from the
primary-side flyback pulse waveform. The flyback pulse
occurs once the primary switch turns off and the secondary
winding conducts current. In order to sample the output
voltage, the LT8301 has to turn on and off at least for a
minimum amount of time and with a minimum frequency.
The LT8301 delivers a minimum amount of energy even
during light load conditions to ensure accurate output voltage information. The minimum energy delivery creates a
minimum load requirement, which can be approximately
estimated as:
LPRI •I SW(MIN)2 • f MIN
ILOAD(MIN) =
2 • VOUT
LPRI = Transformer primary inductance
ISW(MIN) = Minimum switch current limit = 360mA (max)
fMIN = Minimum switching frequency = 10.6kHz (max)
The LT8301 typically needs less than 0.5% of its full output
power as minimum load. Alternatively, a Zener diode with its
breakdown of 20% higher than the output voltage can serve
as a minimum load if pre-loading is not acceptable. For a 5V
output, use a 6V Zener with cathode connected to the output.
Output Short-Circuit Protection
When the output is heavily overloaded or shorted, the
reflected SW pin waveform rings longer than the internal
blanking time. If no protection scheme is applied, after the
450ns minimum switch-off time, the excessive ring might
falsely trigger the boundary mode detector and turn the
power switch back on again before the secondary current
falls to zero. The part then runs into continuous conduction
mode at maximum switching frequency, and the switch
current may run away. To prevent the switch current from
running away under this condition, the LT8301 gradually
folds back both maximum switch current limit and switching frequency as the output voltage drops from regulation.
As a result, the switch current remains below 1.375A (typ)
maximum switch current limit. In the worst-case scenario
where the output is directly shorted to ground through a
long wire and the huge ring after folding back still falsely
triggers the boundary mode detector, a secondary overcurrent protection ensures that the LT8301 can still function
properly. Once the switch current hits 2.2A overcurrent
limit, a soft-start cycle initiates and throttles back both
switch current limit and switching frequency very hard. This
output short protection prevents the switch current from
running away and limits the average output diode current.
Design Example
Use the following design example as a guide to design
applications for the LT8301. The design example involves
designing a 5V output with a 500mA load current and an
input range from 8V to 32V.
VIN(MIN) = 8V, VIN(NOM) = 12V, VIN(MAX) = 32V,
VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 500mA
Step 1: Select the Transformer Turns Ratio.
NPS <
65V − VIN(MAX) − VLEAKAGE
VOUT + VF
VLEAKAGE = Margin for transformer leakage spike = 15V
VF = Output diode forward voltage = ~0.3V
Example:
NPS <
65V − 32V −15V
= 3.4
5V + 0.3V
The choice of transformer turns ratio is critical in determining output current capability of the converter. Table 4
shows the switch voltage stress and output current capability at different transformer turns ratio.

Step 2: Determine the Primary Inductance.
Example:
Primary inductance for the transformer must be set above
a minimum value to satisfy the minimum switch-off and
switch-on time requirements:
LPRI ≥
LPRI ≥
(
tOFF(MIN) •N PS • VOUT + VF
I SW(MIN)
)
tON(MIN) • VIN(MAX)
The transformer also needs to be rated for the correct
saturation current level across line and load conditions.
A saturation current rating larger than 2A is necessary
to work with the LT8301. The 750313974 from Würth is
chosen as the flyback transformer.
I SW(MIN)
tOFF(MIN) = 450ns
tON(MIN) = 170ns
Step 3: Choose the Output Diode.
ISW(MIN) = 290mA (typ)
Two main criteria for choosing the output diode include
forward current rating and reverse voltage rating. The
maximum load requirement is a good first-order guess
as the average current requirement for the output diode.
A conservative metric is the maximum switch current limit
multiplied by the turns ratio,
Example:
450ns • 3 •(5V + 0.3V)
= 25µH
290mA
170ns • 32V
LPRI ≥
= 19µH
290mA
LPRI ≥
Most transformers specify primary inductance with a
tolerance of ±20%. With other component tolerance considered, choose a transformer with its primary inductance
30% larger than the minimum values calculated above.
LPRI = 40µH is then chosen in this example.
Once the primary inductance has been determined, the
maximum load switching frequency can be calculated as:
fSW =
I SW =
(5V + 0.3V)• 3
= 0.57
(5V + 0.3V)• 3+12V
5V • 0.5A • 2

I SW =

Step 4: Choose the Output Capacitor.
The output capacitor should be chosen to minimize the
output voltage ripple while considering the increase in size
and cost of a larger capacitor. Use the equation below to
calculate the output capacitance:
COUT =
VSW(MAX) = VIN(MAX) + VZENER(MAX)
2 • VOUT • ∆VOUT
Example:
Design for output voltage ripple less than 1% of VOUT,
i.e., 50mV.
Choose a diode that is fast and has sufficient reverse
voltage breakdown:
VREVERSE > VSW(MAX)
LPRI •I SW 2
Example:
COUT =
A 20V Zener with a maximum of 21V will provide optimal
protection and minimize power loss. So a 20V, 0.25W Zener
from Central Semiconductor (CMDZ5250B) is chosen.
40µH •(0.86A)2
= 60µF
2 • 5V • 0.05V
A 100V, 0.25A diode from Central Semiconductor
(CMHD4448) is chosen.
Step 6: Select the RFB Resistor.
Remember ceramic capacitors lose capacitance with applied voltage. The capacitance can drop to 40% of quoted
capacitance at the maximum voltage rating. So a 100µF,
10V rating ceramic capacitor is chosen.
Step 5: Design Snubber Circuit.
The snubber circuit protects the power switch from leakage
inductance voltage spike. A DZ snubber is recommended
for this application because of lower leakage inductance
and larger voltage margin. The Zener and the diode need
to be selected.
The maximum Zener breakdown voltage is set according
to the maximum VIN:
VZENER(MAX) ≤ 65V – VIN(MAX)
VREVERSE > 53V
Use the following equation to calculate the starting value
for RFB:
RFB =
NPS •(VOUT + VF )
100µA
Example:
RFB =
3 •(5V + 0.3V)
= 159k
100µA
Depending on the tolerance of standard resistor values,
the precise resistor value may not exist. For 1% standard
values, a 158k resistor should be close enough. As discussed in the Application Information section, the final RFB
value should be adjusted on the measured output voltage.
Example:
VZENER(MAX) ≤ 65V – 32V = 33V

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Step 7: Select the EN/UVLO Resistors.
Step 8: Ensure minimum load.
Determine the amount of hysteresis required and calculate
R1 resistor value:
The theoretical minimum load can be approximately
estimated as:
VIN(HYS) = 2.5µA • R1
ILOAD(MIN) =
40µH•(360mA)2 •10.6kHz
= 5.5mA
2 • 5V
Example:
Choose 2V of hysteresis,
Remember to check the minimum load requirement in
real application. The minimum load occurs at the point
where the output voltage begins to climb up as the converter delivers more energy than what is consumed at
the output. The real minimum load for this application is
about 6mA. In this example, a 820Ω resistor is selected
as the minimum load.
R1 = 806k
Determine the UVLO thresholds and calculate R2 resistor
value:
VIN(UVLO+) =
1.242V •(R1+R2)
+ 2.5µA •R1
R2
Example:
Set VIN UVLO rising threshold to 7.5V,
R2 = 232k
VIN(UVLO+) = 7.5V
VIN(UVLO–) = 5.5V
