13.1 External component selection
Component references apply to the circuits shown in
Figs 5 to 8.
13.1.1 INDUCTOR L1
The performance of the TEA1202TS is not very sensitive
to inductance value. The best efficiency performance over
a wide load current range is achieved by using an
inductance of 6.8 µH, for example TDK SLF7032 or
Coilcraft DO1608 range.
13.1.2 DC-TO-DC INPUT CAPACITOR C1
The value of C1 depends strongly on the type of input
source. In general, a 100 µF tantalum capacitor is
sufficient.
13.1.3 DC-TO-DC OUTPUT CAPACITOR C2
The value and type of C2 depends on the maximum output
current and the ripple voltage which is allowed in the
application. Low-ESR tantalum capacitors show good
results. The most important specification of C2 is its ESR,
which mainly determines output voltage ripple.
13.1.4 DIODE D1
The Schottky diode is only used for a short time during
takeover from N-type power MOSFET and P-type power
MOSFET and vice versa. Therefore, a medium-power
diode is sufficient in most applications, for example
Philips PRLL5819.
13.1.5 FEEDBACK RESISTORS R1 AND R2
The output voltage of the DC-to-DC converter is
determined by the resistors R1 and R2. The following
conditions apply:
• Only use 1% tolerance SMD-type resistors. If larger
body-size resistors are used, the capacitance on
pin FB0 will be too large and could cause inaccurate
operation
• Resistors R1 and R2 should have a maximum value of
50 kΩ when connected in parallel. A higher value will
result in inaccurate operation.
Under these conditions the output voltage can be
calculated by the formula:
