Figure 16. Typical Switching Waveform
The LM2703 features a constant off-time control scheme. Operation can be best understood by referring to
Figure 15 and Figure 16. Transistors Q1 and Q2 and resistors R3 and R4 of Figure 15 form a bandgap reference
used to control the output voltage. When the voltage at the FB pin is less than 1.237V, the Enable Comp in
Figure 15 enables the device and the NMOS switch is turned on pulling the SW pin to ground. When the NMOS
switch is on, current begins to flow through inductor L while the load current is supplied by the output capacitor
COUT. Once the current in the inductor reaches the current limit, the CL Comp trips and the 400ns One Shot turns
