7.3.4 Ripple Requirements

The LM25011 requires about 25 mVP-P of ripple voltage at the CS pin. Higher switching frequencies may require more ripple. That ripple voltage is generated by the decreasing recirculating current (the inductor ripple current) through RS during the off-time. See Figure 16.

The ripple voltage is equal to:

Equation 7. VRIPPLE = ΔI × RS

where ΔI is the inductor current ripple amplitude, and RS is the current-sense resistor at the CS pin.

More ripple can be achieved by decreasing the inductor value.

The LM25011A, with its shorter minimum off-time, typically will require more ripple than the LM25011. An external circuit to increase the effective ripple voltage may be needed. Different methods of generating this ripple are explained in the External Components section.
