Due to higher duty cycles associated with higher output voltages or lower input voltages, output current should be limited to 10 A when operating with output voltages greater than 2.0 V or input voltages below 6 V to reduce conduction losses in the main switching FET (Q1). Under these conditions a lower RDS(on) MOSFET would normally be selected.
To operate with a 5-V input, two resistors need to be changed. R10 (RKFF) sets the voltage ramp amplitude and needs to be reduced to 53.6 kΩ to lower the UVLO to 3.9 V for 5 V operation. In addition, a 330-kΩ resistor should be added at R15 to prevent an internal race condition during soft start.
