ZHCSD73D August 2012 – August 2018 LMZ21700
PRODUCTION DATA.
The input supply must be able to supply the required input current to the LMZ21700 converter. The required input current depends on the application's minimum required input voltage (VIN-MIN), the required output power (VOUT x IOUT-MAX), and the converter efficiency (η).
IIN = VOUT x IOUT-MAX / (VIN-MIN x η)
For example, for a design with 10 V minimum input voltage, 5 V output, and 0.5 A maximum load, considering 90 % conversion efficiency, the required input current is 0.278 A.
