The following converter design characteristics must be chosen:
Vin – Nominal Operating dc input voltage
VO – Desired dc output voltage
IO – Desired dc output current
Vripple(pp) – Desired peak–to–peak output ripple voltage. For best performance the ripple voltage should be kept to a low value since it will directly
affect line and load regulation. Capacitor CO should be a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) electrolytic designed for switching regulator
applications.
D – Operating duty cycle = ton(fs). This parameter must be chosen to be <0.5 for step–up and flyback applications.
NOTES: 1. Vsat – Saturation voltage of the switching transistor.
2. Iin – DC input switch.
3. fs – Switching frequency, nominally 50 kHz.
4. RO – Load resistance. RO = VO/IO.
5. Ns, Np – In flyback applications Ns is the number of turns of the secondary transformer winding; Np is the number of the primary winding turns.
Design Example – Step–down Application
Required: Vin = 8.0 V, an output voltage of 3.3 V at 300 mA is desired with an output ripple of less than 300 mVpp.
