Maximum Output Current

The overcurrent limit in a boost converter limits the maximum input current, and thus the maximum input power for a given input voltage. The maximum output power is less than the maximum input power due to power conversion losses. Therefore, the current-limit setting, input voltage, output voltage and efficiency can all affect the maximum output current. The current limit clamps the peak inductor current; therefore, the ripple must be subtracted to derive the maximum DC current. The ripple current is a function of the switching frequency, inductor value and duty cycle. The following equations take into account of all of the previously factors for maximum output current calculation.

Equation 3. TPS61170-Q1 q3r_lvs789.gif

where

  • IP = inductor peak-to-peak ripple current
  • L = inductor value
  • Vf = Schottky diode forward voltage
  • Fs = switching frequency
  • Vout = output voltage
Equation 4. TPS61170-Q1 q4r_lvs789.gif

where

  • Iout_max = maximum output current of the boost converter
  • Ilim = overcurrent limit
  • η = efficiency

For instance, when Vin is 5 V, Vout is 12 V, the inductor is 10 μH, the Schottky forward voltage is 0.2 V; and then the maximum output current is 300 mA in a typical operation.
