FEATURES
The LND34063A is a monolithic control circuit
containing the primary functions required for
DC-to-DC converters This device consist of an
internal temperature compensated reference,
comparator, controlled duty cycle oscillator
with an active current limit circuit, driver and
high current output switch. This device was
specifically designed to be incorporated in
Step-down and Step-up and Voltage-Inverting
applications with a minimum number of
external components.

Terms and Definitions
Vsat-Saturation voltage of the output switch
VF –Forward voltage drop of the output rectifier.
The following power supply characteristics must be chosen:
VIN-Nominal input voltage
Vout-Desired output voltage, |Vout |=1.25 (1 +R2 / R1)
IOUT-Desired output current
fmin-Minmum desired output switching frequency at the selected values of VIN and IO
Vripple(p-p)- Desired peak-to-peak output ripple voltage. In pratice, the calculated capacitor value will need to be
increased due to its equivalent series resistance and board layout. The ripple voltage should be kept to a low value
since it will directly affect the line and load regulation.
