Figure 2. Buck Stage Design
Steps for the Buck Design
1. Select a buck topology
2. Set the boost output voltage, V
BST
.
3. Select a FET that aligns with the quality standards of the
designer’s company.
4. Determine the inductor turns ratio from the
V
BST
, FET
voltage, and reflected voltage, V
Reflected
.
5. Use the nominal switching frequency and an initial
estimate for time T3 to determine the value of time TT at
full brightness.
6. Use V
BST
, TT, and V
Reflected
to determine times T1 and T2.
7. Use times T2 and TT, turns ratio N, and load current to
determine the value of the peak primary current, I
PK(FB)
.
8. Use I
PK(FB)
to determine R
Sense
.
9. Calculate the buck inductance L using time T1.
10. Calculate second stage gain resistor R
FBGAIN
using full
load conditions. Ensure linearity of the load versus the dim
curve.
11. Calculate RMS currents in the two windings of L using
peak current I
PK(FB)
and duty cycle.
12. Select an output capacitor.
13. Determine the buck inductor specifications.
14. Determine if the buck inductor fits into a specified form
factor after designing and constructing the buck inductor.
Repeat steps 3 to 12 until form factor criteria is met.
15. Refinements to the circuit with final buck inductor design.
16. Validate that the system meets the operating criteria.
