PRODUCTION DATA.
When operating with a high PWM duty cycle, the low-side N-channel MOSFET device is forced off each cycle. This forced LO off-time limits the maximum duty cycle of the controller. When designing a boost regulator with high switching frequency and high duty-cycle requirements, check the required maximum duty cycle. The minimum input supply voltage that can achieve the target output voltage is estimated from Equation 14 or Equation 15.
Use Equation 14 if VVCC is greater than 5.5 V or VVIN is greater than 6 V. For low voltage applications that do not satisfy either of these conditions use Equation 15.
In normal operation, about 100 ns of margin is recommended.
