APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
A general LTC3565 application circuit is shown in inductances, but results in higher output ripple voltage, Figure 4. External component selection is driven by the load greater core loss and lower output capability. requirement, and begins with the selection of the induc- A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is tor L1. Once L1 is chosen, CIN and COUT can be selected. ΔIL = 0.4 • IOUT(MAX), where IOUT(MAX) is 1.25A. The largest

ripple current ΔIL occurs at the maximum input voltage. To guarantee that the ripple current stays below a specified Selection of the operating frequency is a trade-off between maximum, the inductor value should be chosen according efficiency and component size. High frequency operation to the following equation: allows the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values.   Operation at lower frequencies improves efficiency by L = VOUT • 1− VOUT  reducing internal gate charge losses but requires larger   f V O • ΔIL  IN(MAX)  inductance values and/or capacitance to maintain low output ripple voltage. The inductor value will also have an effect on Burst Mode operation. The transition from low current operation begins The operating frequency, fO, of the LTC3565 is determined when the peak inductor current falls below a level set by the by an external resistor that is connected between the RT burst clamp. Lower inductor values result in higher ripple pin and ground. The value of the resistor sets the ramp current which causes this to occur at lower load currents. current that is used to charge and discharge an internal This causes a dip in efficiency in the upper range of low timing capacitor within the oscillator and can be calculated current operation. In Burst Mode operation, lower induc- by using the following equation: tance values will cause the burst frequency to increase.
