APPLICATION INFORMATION
Design Guide - Step-By-Step Design Procedure
The following example illustrates the design procedure for selecting external components for the three buck
converters. The example focuses on Buck 1, but the procedure can be directly applied to Buck 2 and 3 as well.
The design goal parameters are given in Table 1.
Table 1. Design Parameters
Output voltage 1.2 V
Transient response 0.5-A to 2-A load step 120 mV
Maximum output current 3 A
Input voltage 12 V nom, 9.6 V to 14.4 V
Output voltage ripple < 30 mV p-p
Switching frequency 500 kHz
Typical Buck 1 Application Schematic
The application schematic of Buck 1 is shown in Figure 32. The design procedure is given below.
