7.3.11 Maximum Duty Cycle

When operating with a high PWM duty cycle, the buck switch is forced off each cycle for 320 ns to ensure the bootstrap capacitor is recharged and to allow time to sample and hold the current in the low-side MOSFET. This forced OFF-time limits the maximum duty cycle of the controller. When designing a regulator with high switching frequency and high duty cycle requirements, a check must be made of the required maximum duty cycle (including losses) against the graph shown in Figure 11.

Equation 6. LM5119 30124027.gif

The actual maximum duty cycle varies with the operating frequency as shown in Equation 6.
