PRODUCTION DATA
Choose resistors R1 and R2 to set the output voltage within a range of 0.8 V to 5.5 V, according to Equation 8. To keep the feedback network robust from noise, and to reduce the self-generated noise of resistors, set R2 equal to or lower than 5 kΩ. Lower values of FB resistors achieve better noise immunity, and lower light load efficiency, as explained in the Design Considerations for a Resistive Feedback Divider in a DC/DC Converter analog design journal.
VOUT (V) | R1 | R2 |
---|---|---|
0.9 | 604 Ω | 4.87 kΩ |
1.0 | 1.21 kΩ | 4.87 kΩ |
1.2 | 2.43 kΩ | 4.87 kΩ |
1.8 | 6.04 kΩ | 4.87 kΩ |
2.5 | 10.4 kΩ | 4.87 kΩ |
3.3 | 15.2 kΩ | 4.87 kΩ |
5 | 25.5 kΩ | 4.87 kΩ |
A feedforward capacitor (CFF) is not required for proper operation, but can further improve output noise. However, care must be taken in choosing the CFF because the power-good (PG) function can not be valid with a large CFF during start-up, and can cause spurious triggering of the PG pin during a large load transient. Refer to the Pros and Cons Using a Feedforward Capacitor with a Low Dropout Regulator application report for a discussion of the pros and cons of using a feedforward capacitor.
