on and off again. It is determined by internal timing delays
and the gate charge required to turn on the top MOSFET.
Low duty cycle applications may approach this minimum
on-time limit. If the duty cycle falls below what can be
accommodated by the minimum on-time, the LTC1435A
will begin to skip cycles. The output voltage will continue
to be regulated, but the ripple current and ripple voltage will
increase. Therefore this limit should be avoided.
The minimum on-time for the LTC1435A in a properly
configured application is less than 300ns but increases at
low ripple current amplitudes (see Figure 7). If an appli-
cation is expected to operate close to the minimum on-time
limit, an inductor value must be chosen that is low enough
to provide sufficient ripple amplitude to meet the minimum
on-time requirement. To determine the proper value, use
the following procedure:
1. Calculate on-time at maximum supply, t
2. Use Figure 7 to obtain the peak-to-peak inductor ripple
3. Ripple amplitude I
4. L
Choose an inductor less than or equal to the calculated L
to ensure proper operation.

Because of the sensitivity of the LTC1435A current com-
parator when operating close to the minimum on-time limit,
it is important to prevent stray magnetic flux generated by
the inductor from inducing noise on the current sense re-
sistor, which may occur when axial type cores are used. By
orienting the sense resistor on the radial axis of the induc-
tor (see Figure 8), this noise will be minimized.
Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the out-
put power divided by the input power times 100%. It is often
useful to analyze individual losses to determine what is
limiting the efficiency and which change would produce the
most improvement. Efficiency can be expressed as:
where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage
of input power.
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce
losses, four main sources usually account for most of the
losses in LTC1435A circuits. LTC1435A V

control currents. The MOSFET driver current results from
switching the gate capacitance of the power MOSFETs.
Each time a MOSFET gate is switched from low to high
to low again, a packet of charge dQ moves from INTV
to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is a current out of INTV
that is typically much larger than the control circuit cur-
rent. In continuous mode, I
