constant-off-time mode, the synchronous-rectifier
switch turns off just prior to the PMOS power switch
turning on. While both switches are off, inductor current
flows through the internal body diode of the NMOS
switch. The internal body diode’s forward voltage is rel-
atively high.
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θ
dependent on the amount of copper area immediately
surrounding the IC leads. The MAX1742 evaluation kit
has 0.5in
80°C/W with no forced airflow. Airflow over the board
significantly reduces the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance. For heatsinking purposes, evenly distribute
the copper area connected at the IC among the high-
current pins.
Power dissipation in the MAX1742/MAX1842 is domi-
nated by conduction losses in the two internal power
switches. Power dissipation due to supply current in the
control section and average current used to charge
and discharge the gate capacitance of the internal
switches (i.e., switching losses) is approximately:
where C = 2.5nF and f
cy in PWM mode.
This number is reduced when the switching frequency
decreases as the part enters Idle Mode. Combined con-
duction losses in the two power switches are approxi-
mated by:
where R
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance required to
dissipate this amount of power is calculated by:
where: θ
For typical applications, use the recommended compo-
nent values in Tables 1 or 2. For other applications,
take the following steps:
1) Select the desired PWM-mode switching frequency;
