Thermal-Overload Protection
Thermal-overload protection prevents excessive power
dissipation from overheating the MAX1542/MAX1543.
When the junction temperature exceeds T
J
= +160°C, a
thermal sensor immediately activates the fault protec-
tion, which shuts down the device, allowing the IC to
cool. The input voltage must fall (below V
UVLO
) to clear
the fault latch and reactivate the controller.
Thermal-overload protection protects the controller in
the event of fault conditions. For continuous operation,
do not exceed the absolute maximum junction-temper-
ature rating of T
J
= +150°C.
Applications Information
Inductor Selection
The primary considerations in inductor selection are
inductor physical shape, circuit efficiency, and cost.
The factors that determine the inductance value are
input voltage, output voltage, switching frequency, and
maximum output current. Final inductor selection
includes ensuring the chosen inductor meets the appli-
cation’s peak current and RMS current requirements.
Very high inductance values minimize the current ripple
and therefore reduce the peak current, which decreas-
es core losses in the inductor and I

R losses in the cir-
cuit’s entire power path. However, large inductance
