Typical Application (continued)

In CCM, current flows through the inductor through the entire switching cycle and never falls to zero during the

OFF-time. The switching frequency remains relatively constant with load current and line voltage variations. The

CCM operating frequency can be calculated using Equation 16.

The approximate formula for determining the DCM/CCM boundary is as follows:

IDCB ≊ VO × (VIN–VO) / ( 2 × 10 μH × fSW(CCM) × VIN)

(22)

The inductor internal to the module is 10

μH. This value was chosen as a good balance between low and high

input voltage applications. The main parameter affected by the inductor is the amplitude of the inductor ripple

current (ILR). ILR can be calculated with:

ILR P-P = VO × (VIN- VO) / (10 µH × fSW × VIN)

where

•

VIN is the maximum input voltage and fSW is determined from Equation 16.

(23)

If the output current IO is determined by assuming that IO = IL, the higher and lower peak of ILR can be

determined. Be aware that the lower peak of ILR must be positive if CCM operation is required.
