Monitor The Inductor Current
R5 and C10 are then chosen from standard value components to satisfy the above product. Typically C10
is 3000 to 5000 pF, and R5 is 10kΩ to 300 kΩ. C9 is chosen large compared to C10, typically 0.1 µF, see
Figure 4 and Figure 8.

6 Monitor The Inductor Current
The inductor’s current can be monitored or viewed on a scope with a current probe. Remove R6, and
install an appropriate current loop across the two large pads where R6 was located. In this way, the
inductor’s ripple current and peak current can be accurately determined.
7 Scope Probe Adapters
Scope probe adapters are provided on this evaluation board for monitoring the waveform at the SW pin,
and at the circuit’s output (V
OUT
), without using the probe’s ground lead that can pick up noise from the
switching waveforms..
8 Minimum Load Current
The LM34919B requires a minimum load current of ≊1 mA to ensure the boost capacitor (C5) is recharged
sufficiently during each off-time. In this evaluation board, the minimum load current is provided by the
feedback resistors allowing the board’s minimum load current at V
OUT
to be specified at zero.
