The OC trip point varies with MOSFET’s r
temperature variations. To avoid overcurrent tripping in the
normal operating load range, determine the R
resistor from the equation above with:
For an equation for the ripple current see the section under
component guidelines titled ‘Output Inductor Selection’.
Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage of the PWM converter can be resistor-
programmed to any level between V
since the value of R
the compensation components, it is advisable its value is
kept between 2kΩ and 5kΩ.

Output voltage selection on the linear regulators is set by
means of external resistor dividers as shown in Figure 4.
The two resistors used to set the voltage on each of the
three linear regulators have to meet the following criteria:
their value while in a parallel connection has to be less than
5kΩ, or otherwise said, the following relationship has to be
met:
To ensure the parallel combination of the feedback resistors
equals a certain chosen value, R

Application Guidelines
Soft-Start Interval
The soft-start function controls the output voltages rate of rise
to limit the current surge at start-up. The soft-start function is
integrated on the chip and the soft-start interval is fixed.
PWM Controller Feedback Compensation
The PWM controller uses voltage-mode control for output
regulation. This section highlights the design consideration
for a PWM voltage-mode controller. Apply the methods and
considerations only to the PWM controller.
Figure 5 highlights the voltage-mode control loop for a
synchronous-rectified buck converter. The output voltage
