Output Versions.
Setting the Output Voltage
Figure 1 shows the basic application circuit with the
AAT1153 adjustable output version while Figure 2 shows
the application circuit with the AAT1153 fixed output ver-
sion. For applications requiring an adjustable output
voltage, the AAT1153-0.6 adjustable version can be
externally programmed. Resistors R1 and R2 in Figure 1
program the output to regulate at a voltage higher than
0.6V. To limit the bias current required for the external
feedback resistor string while maintaining good noise
immunity, the minimum suggested value for R2 is 59kΩ.
Although a larger value will further reduce quiescent cur-
rent, it will also increase the impedance of the feedback
node, making it more sensitive to external noise and
interference. Table 1 summarizes the resistor values for
various output voltages with R2 set to either 59kΩ for
good noise immunity or 316kΩ for reduced no load input
current.

Voltage Settings (Standard 1% Resistors
Substituted For Calculated Values).
Inductor Selection
For most designs, the AAT1153 operates with inductor
values of 1μH to 4.7μH. Low inductance values are
physically smaller but require faster switching, which
results in some efficiency loss. The inductor value can
be derived from the following equation:
VOUT · (VIN - VOUT
)
L =
VIN · ΔIL · fOSC
Where ΔIL is inductor ripple current. Large value induc-
tors lower ripple current and small value inductors result
in high ripple currents. Choose inductor ripple current
approximately 30% of the maximum load current 2A, or
The adjustable version of the AAT1153, combined with
an external feed forward capacitor (C3 in Figure 1),
delivers enhanced transient response for extreme pulsed
load applications. The addition of the feed forward
capacitor typically requires a larger output capacitor C2
ΔIL = 600mA
