PRODUCTION DATA
The boost inductor is selected based on the inductor ripple current requirements at the peak of low line. Selecting the inductor requires calculating the boost converter duty cycle at the peak of low line (DPEAK_LOW_LINE), as shown in Equation 18.
The minimum switching frequency of the converter (fMIN) under low line conditions occurs at the peak of low line and is set between 25 kHz and 50 kHz to avoid audible noise. For this design example, fMIN is set to 45 kHz. For a 2-phase interleaved design, L1 and L2 are determined as shown in Equation 19.
The inductor for this design would have a peak current (ILPEAK) of 5.4 A, as shown in Equation 20, and an RMS current (ILRMS) of 2.2 A, as shown in Equation 21.
This converter uses constant on time (TON) and zero-current detection (ZCD) to set up the converter timing. Auxiliary windings on L1 and L2 detect when the inductor currents are zero. Selecting the turns ratio using Equation 22 ensures that there will be at least 2 V at the peak of high line to reset the ZCD comparator after every switching cycle.
The turns-ratio of each auxiliary winding is:
