Figure 15. Compensator Gain
In general, hand calculations or simulations can only aid in selecting good power stage components. Good
design practice dictates that load and line transient testing should be done to verify the stability of the application.
Also, Bode plot measurements should be made to determine stability margins. Application note AN-1889
SNVA364 shows how to perform a loop transfer function measurement with only an oscilloscope and function
generator.
Application Information
TYPICAL BUCK REGULATOR APPLICATION
Figure 16 shows an example of converting an input voltage range of 5.5V to 42V, to an output of 3.3v at 3A. See
AN-1894 (SNVA367) for more information.

EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
The following guidelines should be used when designing a step-down (buck) converter with the LM22673.
INDUCTOR
The inductor value is determined based on the load current, ripple current, and the minimum and maximum input
voltages. To keep the application in continuous conduction mode (CCM), the maximum ripple current, I
RIPPLE
,
should be less than twice the minimum load current.
The general rule of keeping the inductor current peak-to-peak ripple around 30% of the nominal output current is
a good compromise between excessive output voltage ripple and excessive component size and cost. Using this
value of ripple current, the value of inductor, L, is calculated using the following formula:
