SNVS783K January 2012 – August 2021 LM5017
PRODUCTION DATA
At the minimum input voltage, the maximum switching frequency of LM5017 is restricted by the forced minimum off-time (TOFF(MIN)) as given by Equation 10.
Similarly, at maximum input voltage, the maximum switching frequency of LM5017 is restricted by the minimum TON as given by Equation 11.
Resistor RON sets the nominal switching frequency based on Equation 12.
where
Operation at high switching frequency results in lower efficiency while providing the smallest solution. For this example a conservative 225 kHz was selected, resulting in RON = 493 kΩ. A standard value for RON = R3 = 499 kΩ is selected.
