PRODUCTION DATA
Calculating the value of the shim inductor (LS) is based on the amount of energy required to achieve zero voltage switching. This inductor needs to able to deplete the energy from the parasitic capacitance at the switch node. Equation 54 selects LS to achieve ZVS at 100% load down to 50% load based on the primary FET’s average total COSS at the switch node.
The actual parasitic capacitance at the switched node may differ from the estimate and LS may have to be adjusted accordingly.
For this design, a 26µH Vitec inductor was chosen for LS, part number 60PR964. The shim inductor has the following specifications:
The LS DC Resistance is:
Estimate LS power loss (PLS) and readjust remaining power budget using Equation 57 through Equation 58:
