Application Information
3.1
Selecting the Output Voltage (v1) of Boost Converter
The output voltage is set using the external resistors R1 and R2. A value of approximately 13.3kΩ is
recommended for R2 to establish a divider current of approximately 92μA. R1 is calculated using the
formula:
R1 = R2 × (V1 / 1.23 – 1)
3.2
(1)
Feed-Forward Compensation for Boost Converter
Although the LM48510’s internal Boost converter is internally compensated, the external feed forward
capacitor Cf1 is required for stability. Adding this capacitor puts a zero in the loop response of the
converter The recommended frequency for the zero fz should be approximately 6kHz. Cf1 can be
calculated using the formula:
Cf1 = 1 / (2π × R1 × fZ)
3.3
(2)
Diode
A Schottky diode must be used for D1. The voltage rating (minimum) should be at least 5V higher than the
output voltage for safe design margin. The average current rating of the diode should be at least 50%
more than the maximum output load current of the application.
3.4
Inductor
The amount of inductance required depends on the switching frequency, duty cycle and amount of
allowable ripple current. The maximum duty cycle of the boost converter determines the maximum boost
ratio for the output-to-input voltage that the converter can attain in continuous mode of operation. The duty
cycle for a given boost application is defined as:
Duty Cycle = V1 + VDIODE – VDD/V1 + VDIODE – VSW
(3)
Larger inductors provides less inductor ripple current which typically means less output voltage ripple (for
a given size of output capacitor). The ripple current and voltage across the inductor is expressed by the
following equation:
V = L di/dt
(4)
Where V is the voltage across the inductor, di is the ripple current, and dt is the duration for which voltage
is applied.
Larger inductors also mean more power can be delivered to the load. The relation can be seen with the
following equation:
E = L/2 × (Ip)2
(5)
where Ip is the peak value of the inductor current.
Note the Boost converter will limit peak current. This means since IP(max) is fixed, increasing L will
increase the maximum of power available to the load.

Time (PA)
Figure 19. Inductor Current
At low boost ratios such as 3.3V to 5.0V, the Boost Converter loop stability requires that the inductance
not exceed 6.8μH. Smaller inductors may be used in applications that require less output current due to
the higher ripple current.
Smaller inductors may be used (and make more sense economically) in applications that require less
output current. Using a smaller inductor means less power can be delivered to the load, see Equation 5.
Note if smaller inductors are used, part may operate in discontinuous mode (where inductor current drops
to zero during switching cycle) using less inductance. This is actually harmless and increases stability
(phase margin) compared to continuous operation.
Best performance is usually obtained when the converter is operated in “continuous” mode at the load
current range of interest, typically giving better load regulation and less out ripple. Continuous operation is
defined as not allowing the inductor current to drop to zero during the cycle. It should be noted that all
boost converters shift over to discontinuous operation as the output load is reduced far enough, but a
larger inductor stays “continuous” over a wider load current range.
Duty cycle affects ripple current since the time the switch is ON determines the length of time that the
current has to ramp up. Any design must be verified for maximum load current over the full temperature
range of the application to make sure the inductance is sufficient.
3.5
Calculating Output Current of Boost Converter (IAMP)
As shown in Figure 19 that depicts the inductor current, the load current is related to the average inductor
current by the relation:
ILOAD = IIND(AVG) × (1-DC)
(6)
where DC is the duty cycle of the application. The switch current can be foun by:
ISW = IIND(AVG) + ½ (IRIPPLE)
(7)
Inductor ripple current is dependent on inductance, duty cycle, input voltage, and frequency:
IRIPPLE = DC × (VIN-VSW) / (fxL)
(8)
Combining all terms, we can develop an expression which allows the maximum available load current to
be calculated:
ILOAD (max) = (1-DC) × (ISW (max) – DC (VIN-VSW) / 2fL

Single-Ended Circuit Configuration
The Class D can also be used with single-ended sources but input capacitors will be needed to block any
DC at the input terminals (see Figure 1). The typical single-ended application configuration is shown in
Figure 1. The equation for Gain (Equation 10) and the frequency (Equation 11) response remains the
same as if the Class D is configured in Differential mode.
