SNVS676I August 2010 – April 2018 LM5119
PRODUCTION DATA.
The value of ramp capacitor (CRAMP) must be less than 2 nF to allow full discharge between cycles by the discharge switch internal to the LM5119. A good-quality, thermally-stable ceramic capacitor with 5% or less tolerance is recommended. For this design the value of CRAMP was set at the standard capacitor value of 820 pF. With the inductor, sense resistor and the K factor selected, the value of the ramp resistor (RRAMP) can be calculated with Equation 19 as the example (Equation 20). The standard value of 73.2 kΩ was selected.
