LOW-SIDE MOSFET SELECTION
A low R
DSON
N-channel MOSFET is selected as a high efficiency
solution. The breakdown voltage of the MOSFET must be
higher than 1.2 × V
IN
, and the drain current must be larger than
1.2 × I
LIMIT
.
It is recommended that a 30 V, N -channel MOSFET, such as the
FDS6298 from Fairchild, be used. The R
DSON
of the FDS6298 at
a 4.5 V driver voltage is 9.4 mΩ, and the total gate charge at 5 V
is 10 nC.
COMPENSATION COMPONENTS
For a better load transient and stability performance, set the
cross frequency, f
C
, at f
SW
/10. In this case, f
C
= 1/500 kHz =
50 kHz.

SOFT START TIME PROGRAM
The soft start feature allows the output voltage to ramp up in a
controlled manner, eliminating output voltage overshoot during
soft start and limiting the inrush current. Set the soft start time
to 4 ms.

INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
A minimum 10 μF ceramic capacitor is required to be placed
near the PVIN pin. In this application, one 10 μF, X5R, 25 V
ceramic capacitor is recommended.
