7.2.2.8 Discontinuous And Continuous Conduction Modes Selection

The approximate formula for determining the DCM/CCM boundary is as follows:

Equation 13. IDCB ≊ VO × (VIN– VO) / (2 × 3.3 μH × fSW(CCM) × VIN)

The inductor internal to the module is 3.3 μH. This value was chosen as a good balance between low and high input voltage applications. The main parameter affected by the inductor is the amplitude of the inductor ripple current (ILR). ILR can be calculated with:

Equation 14. ILR P-P = VO× (VIN– VO) / (3.3 µH × fSW × VIN)

where

  • VIN is the maximum input voltage
  • And fSW is typically 812 kHz.

If the output current IO is determined by assuming that IO = IL, the higher and lower peak of ILR can be determined.
