Vripple(p-p)
Vsat=Saturation voltage of the output switch.
VF=Forward voltage drop of the output rectifier.
The following power supply characteristics must be chosen:
Vin=Nominal input voltage.
Vout=Desired output voltage. Vout =1.25(1+R2/R1)
Iout=Desired output current.
fmin=Minimum desired output switching frequency at the selected values of Vin and Io
Vripple(pp)=Desired peak-to-peak output ripple voltage.In prictice,the calculated capacitor value
will need to be increased due to its equivalent series resistance and board layout.
The ripple should be kept to a low value since it will directiy affect the line and load
regulation.
