APPLICATIONS
Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the
output 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 LTC1436A/LTC1437A circuits: LTC1436A/
LTC1437A V
topside MOSFET transition losses.

from switching the gate capacitance of the power

Other losses including C
losses, Schottky conduction losses during dead-time and
inductor core losses, generally account for less than 2%
total additional loss.
Checking Transient Response
The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at
the load transient response. Switching regulators take
several cycles to respond to a step in DC (resistive) load
current. When a load step occurs, V

pensation for most applications.
