PRODUCTION DATA
Minimum ON-time, TON_MIN, is the smallest duration of time that the HS switch can be on. TON_MIN is typically 84 ns in the TPS2585x-Q1. Minimum OFF-time, TOFF_MIN, is the smallest duration that the HS switch can be off. TOFF_MIN is typically 81 ns in the TPS2585x-Q1. In CCM (FPWM) operation, TON_MIN and TOFF_MIN limit the voltage conversion range given a selected switching frequency.
The minimum duty cycle allowed is:
And the maximum duty cycle allowed is:
Given fixed TON_MIN and TOFF_MIN, the higher the switching frequency the narrower the range of the allowed duty cycle.
Given an output voltage, the choice of the switching frequency affects the allowed input voltage range, solution size and efficiency. The maximum operation supply voltage can be found by:
At lower supply voltage, the switching frequency is limited by TOFF_MIN. The minimum VIN can be approximated by:
Taking considerations of power losses in the system with heavy load operation, VIN_MAX is higher than the result calculated in Equation 7.
If minimum ON-time or minimum OFF-time do not support the desired conversion ratio, frequency is reduced automatically allowing regulation to maintain during load dump and with very low dropout during cold crank even with high operating-frequency setting.
