Design Requirements

The design goals are VIN = 1.8V, VOUT = 1.5V, and IOUT = 2A maximum. The design optimizes transient response while meeting a 1ms start-up time with a start-up dominated by the soft-start feature. The input supply comes from a supply on the same circuit board. The available system rails for VBIAS are 2.7V, 3.3V, and 5V.

The design space consists of CIN, COUT, CBIAS, CSS, VBIAS, R1, R2, and R3, and the circuit is from Figure 7-1.

This example uses a VIN of 1.8V, with a VBIAS of 2.5V.
