APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Duty Cycle

The duty cycle D of a boost converter is:

OUT

CESAT

OUT

−

(3)

where V

CESAT

is the switch saturation voltage and V

voltage drop across the rectifying diode.

Maximum Output Current

In a boost switching regulator the inductor is connected

to the input. The DC inductor current is the input current.

When the power switch is turned on, the inductor current

flows into the switch. When the power switch is off, the

inductor current flows through the rectifying diode to the

output. The output current is the average diode current.

The diode current waveform is trapezoidal with pulse width

(1 – D)T (Figure 5). The output current available from a

boost converter therefore depends on the converter

operating duty cycle. The power switch current in the

KB3302 is internally limited to 2A. This is also the maximum

inductor or the input current. By estimating the conduction

losses in both the switch and the diode, an expression of

the maximum available output current of a boost converter

can be derived:

where I

is the switch current limit.

It is worth noting that I

OUTMAX

is directly proportional to the

ratio

OUT

. Equation (4) over-estimates the maximum

output current at high frequencies (>1MHz) since

switching losses are neglected in its derivation.

Nevertheless it is a useful first-order approximation.

Using V

= 0.5V and I

= 2A in (3) and (4),

the maximum output currents for three V

combinations are shown in Table 1.

Considerations for High Frequency Operation

The operating duty cycle of a boost converter decreases as

approaches V

OUT

. The PWM modulating ramp in a

current-mode switching regulator is the sensed current ramp

of the control switch. This current ramp is absent unless

the switch is turned on. The intersection of this ramp with

the output of the voltage feedback error amplifier

determines the switch pulse width. The propagation delay

time required to immediately turn off the switch after it

is turned on is the minimum switch on time. Regulator

closed-loop measurement shows that the KB3302 has

a minimum on time of about 150ns at room temperature.

The power switch in the KB3302 is either not turned on

at all or for at least 150ns. If the required switch on time

is shorter than the minimum on time, the regulator will

either skip cycles or it will start to jitter.

Example: Determine the maximum operating frequency

of a Li-ion cell to 5V converter using the KB3302.

Assuming that V

=0.5V, V

CESAT

=0.3V and V

=2.6 - 4.2V,

the minimum duty ratio can be found using (3).
