11 / 28 page 11 LT1956/LT1956-5 1956f APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO iron cores are forgiving because they saturate softly, whereas ferrite cores saturate abruptly. Other core mate- rials fall somewhere in between. The following formula assumes continuous mode of operation, but errs only slightly on the high side for discontinuous mode, so it can be used for all conditions.

This is a tough decision because the rods or barrels are temptingly cheap and small and there are no helpful guidelines to calculate when the magnetic field radiation will be a problem. Additional Considerations After making an initial choice, consider additional factors such as core losses and second sourcing, etc. Use the experts in Linear Technology’s Applications department if you feel uncertain about the final choice. They have experience with a wide range of inductor types and can tell you about the latest developments in low profile, surface mounting, etc. MAXIMUM OUTPUT LOAD CURRENT Maximum load current for a buck converter is limited by the maximum switch current rating (IP). The current rating for the LT1956 is 1.5A. Unlike most current mode convert- ers, the LT1956 maximum switch current limit does not fall off at high duty cycles. Most current mode converters suffer a drop off of peak switch current for duty cycles above 50%. This is due to the effects of slope compensa- tion required to prevent subharmonic oscillations in cur- rent mode converters. (For detailed analysis, see Applica- tion Note 19.) The LT1956 is able to maintain peak switch current limit over the full duty cycle range by using patented circuitry to cancel the effects of slope compensation on peak switch current without affecting the frequency compensation it provides. Maximum load current would be equal to maximum switch current for an infinitely large inductor, but with finite inductor size, maximum load current is reduced by one half of peak-to-peak inductor current (ILP-P). The following formula assumes continuous mode operation, implying that the term on the right is less than one half of IP.
