JAJSAH6H January 2006 – October 2017 LM3100
PRODUCTION DATA.
The ON-Time of LM3100 main switch is determined by the RON resistor and the input voltage (VIN), and is calculated from:
The inverse relationship of tON and VIN results in a nearly constant switching frequency as VIN is varied. RON should be selected for a minimum on-time (at maximum VIN) greater than 200 ns for proper current limit operation. This requirement limits the maximum frequency for each application, depending on VIN and VOUT, calculated from Equation 5:
The LM3100 can be remotely shut down by taking the EN pin below 1.1 V. Refer to Figure 19. In this mode the SS pin is internally grounded, the on-timer is disabled, and bias currents are reduced. Releasing the EN pin allows normal operation to resume.
For normal operation, the voltage at the EN pin is set between 1.5 V and 3.0 V, depending on VIN and the external pull-up resistor. For all cases, this voltage must be limited not to exceed 7 V.
