A core size with ratings higher than these values should be
chosen. If the core is not properly rated, saturation will dra-
matically reduce overall efficiency.
The LM3488 can be set to switch at very high frequencies.
When the switching frequency is high, the converter can be
operated with very small inductor values. With a small induc-
tor value, the peak inductor current can be extremely higher
than the output currents, especially under light load condi-
tions.
The LM3488 senses the peak current through the switch. The
peak current through the switch is the same as the peak cur-
rent calculated above.
PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The output voltage can be programmed using a resistor di-
vider between the output and the feedback pins, as shown in

A 100pF capacitor may be connected between the feedback
and ground pins to reduce noise.
