8.1.1 Duty Cycle Consideration

The switch duty cycle, D, defines the converter operation and is a function of the input and output voltages. In steady state, the duty cycle is defined using Equation 15:

Equation 15. GUID-C73014C7-0293-40E0-88A9-2DF20B2E1255-low.gif

There is no limitation for small duty cycles, since at low duty cycles, the switching frequency is reduced as needed to always ensure current regulation. The maximum duty cycle attainable is limited by the minimum off-time duration and is a function of switching frequency.
