PRODUCTION DATA
The choice of inductor sets the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) boundary condition. Therefore, one approach of selecting the inductor value is by deriving the relationship between the output power corresponding to CCM-DCM boundary condition, PO(BDRY), and inductance, L. This approach ensures CCM operation in battery-powered LED driver applications that are required to support different LED string configurations with a wide range of programmable LED current set points. The CCM-DCM boundary condition can be estimated either based on the lowest LED current and the lowest output voltage requirements for a given application or as a fraction of maximum output power, PO(MAX).
