The ON-time of the LM3102 main MOSFET is determined by the resistor RON and the input voltage VIN. It is calculated as follows:
The inverse relationship of ton and VIN gives a nearly constant frequency as VIN is varied. RON should be selected such that the ON-time at maximum VIN is greater than 150 ns. The ON-timer has a limiter to ensure a minimum of 150 ns for ton. This limits the maximum operating frequency, which is governed by Equation 6:
The LM3102 can be remotely shutdown by pulling the voltage of the EN pin below 1 V. In this shutdown mode, the SS pin is internally grounded, the ON-timer is disabled, and bias currents are reduced. Releasing the EN pin allows normal operation to resume because the EN pin is internally pulled up.
