PRODUCTION DATA
The first step in the design procedure is to verify whether the maximum possible output current of the boost converter supports the specific application requirements. A simple approach is to estimate the converter efficiency, by taking the efficiency number from the provided efficiency curves at the application's maximum load or to use a worst case assumption for the expected efficiency, e.g., 85%.




η = Estimated boost converter efficiency (use the number from the efficiency plots or 85% as an estimation)
?OSC = Boost converter switching frequency (750 kHz)
L = Selected inductor value for the boost converter (see the Inductor Selection section)
ISWPEAK = Boost converter switch current at the desired output current (must be < ILIM_min = 3.5 A)
ΔIL = Inductor peak-to-peak ripple current
The peak switch current is the current that the integrated switch, the inductor and the external Schottky diode have to be able to handle. The calculation must be done for the minimum input voltage where the peak switch current is highest.
