ZHCSF47E June 2016 – December 2017 TAS2560
PRODUCTION DATA.
The boost converter requires three passive devices that are labeled L1, C1 and C2 in Figure 98 and whose specifications are provided in Table 101. These specifications are based on the design of the TAS2560 and are necessary to meet the performance targets of the device. In particular, L1 should not be allowed to enter in the current saturation region. The saturation current for L1 should be > ILIM to deliver Class-D peak power.
Additionally, the ratio of L1/C2 (the derated value of C2 at 8.5 V should be used in this ratio) has to be lesser than 1/3 for boost stability. This 1/3 ratio should be maintained including the worst case variation of L1 and C2. To satisfy sufficient energy transfer, L1 needs to be ≥ 1 μH at the boost switching frequency (approximately 1.7 MHz). Using a 1 μH will have more boost ripple than a 2.2 μH but the PSRR should minimize the effect from the additional ripple. Finally, the minimum C2 (derated value at 8.5 V) should be > 3.3 μF for Class-D power delivery specification.
