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