CCM:
technique of using the voltage drop across the power
MOSFET to close the current feedback loop was chosen
because of the increased effi ciency that results from
not having a sense resistor. The losses in the power
MOSFET are equal to:
The I
discrete sense resistor can be calculated almost by
inspection.
To understand the magnitude of the improvement with
this V
5V output power supply shown in Figure 1. The maxi-
mum load current is 7A (10A peak) and the duty cycle
is 39%. Assuming a ripple current of 40%, the peak
inductor current is 13.8A and the average is 11.5A.
With a maximum sense voltage of about 140mV, the
sense resistor value would be 10mΩ, and the power
dissipated in this resistor would be 514mW at maxi-
mum output current. Assuming an effi ciency of 90%,
this sense resistor power dissipation represents 1.3%
of the overall input power. In other words, for this ap-
plication, the use of V

Checking Transient Response
The regulator loop response can be verifi ed by looking at
the load transient response. Switching regulators generally
take several cycles to respond to an instantaneous step
in resistive load current. When the load step occurs, V
immediately shifts by an amount equal to (ΔI
and then C
the direction of the load step) as shown in Figure 13. The
regulator feedback loop acts on the resulting error amp

this loss as a function of the output current yields:

The boost diode can be a major source of power loss
in a boost converter. For the 3.3V input, 5V output at
7A example given above, a Schottky diode with a 0.4V
forward voltage would dissipate 2.8W, which represents
7% of the input power. Diode losses can become signifi -

is a signifi cant percentage of the output voltage.
inductor core losses, generally account for less than
2% of the total additional loss.
