Design Example (Refer to R
Selection)
As a design example, assume V
a maximum average output current I
this information, we can easily calculate all the important
components:
From the equation (1),
Using the standard resistors (1 , 1 and 2 ) in parallel
provides 0.4 without having to use a more expensive
low value current shunt type resistor (see R
tion section).
With R
calculated from (2), neglecting the second term, to be
signal ground consists of the (–) plate of C
the LTC1474/LTC1475 and the resistive divider. The
power ground consists of the Schottky diode anode,
the (–) plate of C
(Pin 8) and the RUN control voltage? The resistor
should be as close as possible to Pin 8.

150mA. The minimum inductance is, therefore, from the
equation (3) and assuming V
From Figure 3, an inductance of 270 H is chosen from the
recommended region. The CDRH73-271 or CD54-271 is a
good choice for space limited applications.
For the feedback resistors, choose R1 = 1M to minimize
supply current. R2 can then be calculated from the equa-
tion (4) to be:
For the catch diode, the MBR0530 will work well in this
application.
For the input and output capacitors, AVX 4.7 F and 100 F,
respectively, low ESR TPS series work well and meet the
RMS current requirement of 100mA/2 = 50mA. They are
available in small “C” case sizes with 0.15
0.15 output capacitor ESR will result in 25mV of output
voltage ripple.
