For 1% standard values, a 158k resistor is chosen.
Step 7: Adjust R

resistor based on output voltage.
Build and power up the application with application com

Step 8: Select R
TC
resistor based on output voltage tem-
perature variation.
Measure output voltage in a controlled temperature envi
-
ronment like an oven to determine the output temperature
coefficient. Measure output voltage at a consistent load
current and input voltage, across the operating tempera

Step 9: Select the EN/UVLO resistors.
Determine the amount of hysteresis required and calcu

late R1 resistor value:
V
IN(HYS)
= 2.5µA • R1
Example:
Choose 2V of hysteresis, R1 = 806k
Determine the UVLO thresholds and calculate R2 resistor
value:

=
1.228V • R1+ R2

Example:
Set V

Step 10: Ensure minimum load.
The theoretical minimum load can be approximately esti

mated as:

LOAD(MIN)
=

• 12.7kHz
2 • 5V
=12.4mA
Remember to check the minimum load requirement in
real application. The minimum load occurs at the point
where the output voltage begins to climb up as the con
-
verter delivers more energy than what is consumed at
the output. The real minimum load for this application is
about 10mA. In this example, a 500Ω resistor is selected
as the minimum load.
