PRODUCTION DATA
To determine the proper ramp selection for this design, the L-C double pole frequency and the maximum L-C double pole frequency must be calculated. The double pole frequency is based on the selected output inductance and output capacitance for this design. Using Equation 30, the L-C double pole frequency for this design is 20kHz. Calculating the maximum L-C double pole frequency then helps guide the user to select one of the four ramp options. Generally, if the L-C double pole calculation lands within the RAMP1 margin, select RAMP1, as this results in the best transient response. Select RAMP2 or RAMP3 if the L-C double pole calculation does not fit within the RAMP1 margin. TI recommends RAMP2 for an increase in phase margin, while TI recommends RAMP3 for higher gain and a faster transient response than RAMP2. If RAMP1, RAMP2, or RAMP3 cannot be selected due to maximum L-C double pole frequency restriction, then choose RAMP4. The maximum L-C double pole frequency can be calculated using Equation 31, where the variable fP(TABLE) equates to the RAMP4 maximum L-C double pole from Table 6-2. This calculation results in 15.4kHz, 19.98kHz, and 26.6 kHz, for RAMP1, RAMP3, and RAMP4 respectively. Because the L-C double pole frequency in this design is 20kHz, which is between RAMP3 and RAMP4, RAMP4 is selected.
After selecting RAMP4 for this design, connect the MSEL pin to AGND using a 56.2kΩ resistor to set the switching frequency to 800kHz and the ramp option to RAMP4.
