FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
NORMAL OPERATION OVER CURRENT OPERATION
In normal operation the high-side MOSFET turns The part has internal current limit function, which

minimize power dissipation.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
INDUCTOR SELECTION Where VOUT is the output voltage, VIN is the input
In normal operation, the inductor maintains voltage, f is the switch frequency, and +I is the
continuous current to the output. The inductor peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. Typically,
current has a ripple that is dependent on the choose +I as the 30% of the maximum output
inductance value. The high inductance reduces the current.
