1.2 Considerations

  • Unless otherwise indicated, a resistor was used as load, output current was adjusted to 2 A, and the input voltage was set to 12 V
  • The circuit starts to switch around 5.7 VIN and stops with switching around 4.3 VIN
  • The switching frequency of the prototype was measured at 2.02 MHz
  • Long term measurements at maximum load 2 APK were done with forced cooling
Note: Due to availability reasons, the BSC340N08NS3 G was used for transistor Q1.
