tor to the output load through the output diode.
Duty cycle is defined as the ON time divided by the
total switching interval.
Application Information
Selecting the Output Diode
To ensure minimum forward voltage drop and no
recovery, high voltage Schottky diodes are consid-
ered the best choice for the AAT1230/1230-1 boost
converter. The AAT1230/1230-1 output diode is
sized to maintain acceptable efficiency and reason-
able operating junction temperature under full load
operating conditions. Forward voltage (VF) and
package thermal resistance (θJA) are the dominant
factors to consider in selecting a diode. The diode's
published current rating may not reflect actual oper-
ating conditions and should be used only as a com-
parative measure between similarly rated devices.
20V rated Schottky diodes are recommended for
outputs less than 15V, while 30V rated Schottky
diodes are recommended for outputs greater than
15V.

The maximum duty cycle can be estimated from
the relationship for a continuous mode boost con-
verter. Maximum duty cycle (DMAX) is the duty
cycle at minimum input voltage (VIN(MIN)).

During the ON time, the N-channel power MOS-
FET is conducting and storing energy in the boost
inductor. During the OFF time, the N-channel
power MOSFET is not conducting. Stored energy is
The following curves show the VF characteristics
for different Schottky diodes (100°C case). The VF
of the Schottky diode can be estimated from the
average current during the off time.
