TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
EMC AND EMI RECOMMENDATIONS
No SR capacitor is used. Therefore, the obtained
switching times are the maximum values. A capacitor of
1000 mF is connected between VPWR and GND.

Material
The 33981 OUT is connected to an inductive load (0.47 Ω
+ 1.0 mH) switching at 20 kHz with duty = 80%. The current
in the load was 17 A continuous.

BOARD SETUP
The initial configuration of our 33981 board is represented
in Figure 25.

EFFECTS OF SOME PARAMETERS
The conducted emissions level rise with the duty cycle.
When the duty increases the di/dt on the VPWR line is higher.
The device has to deliver more current and provide more
energy. Figure 27 describes the effect of duty cycle increase
on the VPWR current waveform. The conducted emission
level rises with the output frequency. This is due to the
increasing number of commutations.
