OVERVIEW OF CONSTANT OFF-TIME CONTROL
A buck converter’s conversion ratio is defined as:
Constant off-time control architecture operates by simply
defining the off-time and allowing the on-time, and therefore
the switching frequency, to vary as either V
The output voltage is equal to the LED string voltage (V
and should not change significantly for a given application.
The input voltage or V
input line varies. The length of the on-time is determined by
the sensed inductor current through a resistor to a voltage
reference at a comparator. During the on-time, denoted by

increase. During the on-time, current flows from V
through the LEDs, through L2, Q2, and finally through R3 to
ground. At some point in time, the inductor current reaches a
maximum (I
