maximum operating input voltage. Conversely, a lower ripple current. The LT3680’s switch current limit (ILIM) is switching frequency will be necessary to achieve safe 5.5A at low duty cycles and decreases linearly to 4.5A at operation at high input voltages. DC = 0.8. The maximum output current is a function of If the output is in regulation and no short-circuit, start- the inductor ripple current: up, or overload events are expected, then input voltage IOUT(MAX) = ILIM – ΔIL/2 transients of up to 36V are acceptable regardless of the Be sure to pick an inductor ripple current that provides switching frequency. In this mode, the LT3680 may enter sufficient maximum output current (I pulse skipping operation where some switching pulses OUT(MAX)). are skipped to maintain output regulation. In this mode The largest inductor ripple current occurs at the highest the output voltage ripple and inductor current ripple will VIN. To guarantee that the ripple current stays below the be higher than in normal operation. specified maximum, the inductor value should be chosen according to the following equation: The minimum input voltage is determined by either the LT3680’s minimum operating voltage of ~3.6V or by its V + V V + V maximum duty cycle (see equation in previous section). L OUT D OUT D = 1– The minimum input voltage due to duty cycle is: f I V SW L IN MA ( X) V + V V OUT D where V = – V + V D is the voltage drop of the catch diode (~0.4V), IN MI ( N) 1– f t D SW VIN(MAX) is the maximum input voltage, VOUT is the output SW OFF M ( IN) voltage, fSW is the switching frequency (set by RT), and L where V is in the inductor value. IN(MIN) is the minimum input voltage, and tOFF(MIN) is the minimum switch off time (150ns). Note that higher The inductor’s RMS current rating must be greater than switching frequency will increase the minimum input volt- the maximum load current and its saturation current age.
