10 APPLICATION IDEA 2: POSITIVE BUCK-BOOST REGULATOR 3V TO 13.2V
In some applications the input voltage changes in a very wide range while the output must be regulated to a
fixed value. In this case a Buck-Boost topology can be required in order to keep the output voltage in regulation.
The schematic below shows how to implement a Buck-Boost regulating 5V at the output from both 3.3V and 5V
and 12V input buses.
In a Buck-Boost topology the current is delivered to the output during the OFF phase only. So, for a given current
limit, the maximum output current depends strongly on the duty cycle. Assuming a 100% efficiency and neglect-
ing the current ripple across the inductor, the relationship betweent the current limit and the maximum output
current is the following:
Where I
The worst case is with D
The worst case is with V
Obviously, since the efficiency is lower than 100% and the ripple is usually not negligible, the maximum output
current is always lower than the value calculated in the above formula
