The voltage change in FB is measured while VIN is changed from 2.9 V to 5 V. The line regulation is calculated by (∆VFB/VFB) × 100%/∆VIN. 3 The ADP1621 is tested in a feedback servo loop, which servos VFB to the internal reference voltage, and VCOMP is forced from 1.4 V to 1.5 V. The VCOMP range is (1.0 V ≤ VCOMP ≤ 2.0 V). 4 The peak slope-compensation current at the CS pin is typically 70 µA, and effectively clamped at 116 mV. Thus, RS should not exceed 1.6 kΩ (116 mV/70 µA). 5 Guaranteed by design for thermal shutdown. When the thermal junction temperature of the ADP1621 reaches approximately 150°C, the ADP1621 goes into thermal shutdown and the GATE voltage is pulled low. When the junction temperature drops below about 140°C, the soft start sequence is initiated and the ADP1621 resumes normal operation. 6 fOSC is the natural oscil ation frequency, fSYNC is the synchronization frequency, and fSW is the switching frequency. If synchronization is used, then fSW = fSYNC; otherwise, fSW = fOSC. 7 Guaranteed by design and bench characterization. 8 To ensure proper synchronization operation, set the synchronization frequency, fSYNC, to 1.2× of the free-running frequency, fOSC. Although the switching frequency can be synchronized to as high as 1.8 MHz, the peak slope-compensation current decreases at higher synchronization frequencies. It is recommended that the maximum fSYNC be less than 1.4× of fOSC and should not exceed 1.8 MHz. Choose the slope-compensation resistor, RS, for the synchronization frequency (see the Slope Compensation section in the Application Information: Boost Converter section). 9 GATE rise and fall times are measured from 10% to 90% levels.
