PRODUCTION DATA
The adjustable output version of the LM65680/60/40 uses a feedback divider network to set the output voltage. The divider network comprises upper and lower feedback resistors designated as RFB1 and RFB2, respectively. The feedback divider resistances are a compromise between excessive noise pickup and quiescent current consumption. Lower resistances reduce noise sensitivity but impact light-load efficiency. A recommended starting value for RFB2 is 10kΩ with a maximum value of 100kΩ.
According to Equation 47, the parallel combination of RFB1 and RFB2 must be greater than 4kΩ and less than 100kΩ. This limit is set as the converter must reliably detect the state of FB during the start-up sequence to establish the output voltage configuration (fixed or adjustable output voltage setting).
Setting RFB1 and RFB2 to 210kΩ and 15kΩ, respectively, gives an output voltage setpoint of exactly 12V.
