8.2.1 Design Requirements

The procedure for calculating the external components is illustrated with the following design example. The designations used in the design example correlate to the Figure 19. The design specifications are:

• VOUT = 12 V
• VIN = 5 V to 42 V
• f = 300 kHz
• Minimum load current (CCM operation) = 600 mA
• Maximum load current = 3 A
