PRODUCTION DATA
For boost converters, the maximum output current capability is determined by the input to output ratio, the efficiency, the inductor current ripple and the current limit. The maximum output current can be estimated by Equation 1
where
Minimum input voltage, maximum boost output voltage and minimum current limit should be used as the worst case condition for the estimation.
In this example, assume the power efficiency is 70% at the minimum input voltage of 0.9 V. The calculated maximum output current is 114 mA, which satisfies the application requirements.
