PRODUCTION DATA
The application schematic of a buck supply is shown in Figure 8-1. For output voltage (VOUT) more than one diode drop higher than the maximum regulation voltage of VCC (8.55 V, see the Section 6.5), the VCC pin can be connected to VOUT through a diode (D2), as shown in Figure 8-1, to improve efficiency and reduce power dissipation in the IC.
The design example shown in Figure 8-1 uses equations from the Section 7.3 with component names provided in the Figure 3-1 schematic. Corresponding component designators from Figure 8-1 are also provided for each selected value.
