PRODUCTION DATA
Many designs begin with a desired switching frequency in mind. For 4-A applications, 300 kHz is recommended. Equation 16 can be used to calculate the RON value.
This can be rearranged as:
The selection of RON and fSW(CCM) must be confined by limitations in the on-time and off-time for Section 7.1.1.
The on-time of the TPSM13604 timer is determined by the resistor RON and the input voltage VIN. It is calculated as follows:
The inverse relationship of tON and VIN gives a nearly constant switching frequency as VIN is varied. RON must be selected such that the on-time at maximum VIN is greater than 150 ns. The on-timer has a limiter to ensure a minimum of 150 ns for tON. This limits the maximum operating frequency, which is governed by Equation 19.
This equation can be used to select RON if a certain operating frequency is desired so long as the minimum on-time of 150 ns is observed. The limit for RON can be calculated as follows:
If RON calculated in Equation 17 is less than the minimum value determined in Equation 20, a lower frequency should be selected. Alternatively, VIN(MAX) can also be limited to keep the frequency unchanged.
Additionally, the minimum off-time of 260 ns (typical) limits the maximum duty ratio. Larger RON (lower FSW) must be selected in any application requiring large duty ratio.
