8.2.2.8 Duty Cycle

The maximum duty cycle of the switching regulator determines the maximum boost ratio of output-to-input voltage that the converter can attain in continuous mode of operation. The duty cycle for a given boost application is defined as:

Equation 3. LM2733 20055420.gif

This applies for continuous mode operation.

The equation shown for calculating duty cycle incorporates terms for the FET switch voltage and diode forward voltage. The actual duty cycle measured in operation will also be affected slightly by other power losses in the circuit such as wire losses in the inductor, switching losses, and capacitor ripple current losses from self-heating. Therefore, the actual (effective) duty cycle measured may be slightly higher than calculated to compensate for these power losses. A good approximation for effective duty cycle is :

Equation 4. DC (eff) = (1 - Efficiency x (VIN/VOUT))

Where the efficiency can be approximated from the curves provided.
