8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The first step in the design procedure is to verify that the maximum possible output current of the boost converter supports the specific application requirements. A simple approach is to estimate the converter efficiency, by taking the efficiency numbers from the provided efficiency curves or to use a worst case assumption for the expected efficiency, for example, 90%.

2. Maximum output current, Iout(max):

3. Peak switch current in application, Iswpeak:

with the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current, ΔIL

Equation 4. TPS61087 iq4_lvs821.gif

and

VIN Minimum input voltage
VS Output voltage
ILIM(min) Converter switch current limit (minimum switch current limit = 3.2 A)
fS Converter switching frequency (typically 1.2 MHz or 650 kHz)
L Selected inductor value
η Estimated converter efficiency (use the number from the efficiency plots or 90% as an estimation)

The peak switch current is the steady state peak switch current that the integrated switch, inductor and external Schottky diode has to be able to handle. The calculation must be done for the minimum input voltage where the peak switch current is the highest.
