Boost Configuration
In the boost converter (Figure 2), the average inductor
current varies with the line voltage. The maximum aver-
age current occurs at the lowest line voltage. For the
boost converter, the average inductor current is equal
to the input current.
Calculate maximum duty cycle using the below equation.
where V
LED
is the forward voltage of the LED string in
volts, V
D
is the forward drop of the rectifier diode D1 in
volts (approximately 0.6V), V
INMIN
is the minimum input
supply voltage in volts, and V
FET
is the average drain to
source voltage of the MOSFET Q1 in volts when it is on.
Use an approximate value of 0.2V initially to calculate
D
MAX
. A more accurate value of the maximum duty
cycle can be calculated once the power MOSFET is
selected based on the maximum inductor current.
Use the following equations to calculate the maximum
average inductor current IL
