7.4.4 Minimum On-Time Operation

Every switching regulator has a minimum controllable on-time dictated by the inherent delays and blanking times associated with the control circuits. This on-time imposes a minimum switch duty cycle and, therefore, a minimum conversion ratio. The constraint is encountered at high input voltages and low output voltages. To help extend the minimum controllable duty cycle, the LM63635-Q1 automatically reduces the switching frequency when the minimum on-time limit is reached. This way, the converter can regulate the lowest programmable output voltage at the maximum input voltage. Use Equation 1 to find an estimate for the approximate input voltage for a given output voltage before frequency foldback occurs. The values of tON and ƒSW can be found in Section 6. As the input voltage is increased, the switch on-time (duty-cycle) reduces to regulate the output voltage. When the on-time reaches the limit, the switching frequency drops while the on-time remains fixed. This relationship is highlighted in ƒSW versus VIN curves in Section 8.2.3.
