Figure 10.
The first step is to decide on the value of the current in the voltage divider resistor string in FLOAT mode. This
should be substantially higher than the input bias current in the CE and VFB pins and the leakage current in the
STAT1 pin, but low enough such that the voltage on the PGOOD pin does not introduce errors. A value of 50μA
is suitable.
In FLOAT mode, STAT1 is OFF, so there is no current in R
D
. The voltage on the VFB pin (V
REF
) is 2.3V.
R
C
= 2.30V ÷ 50μA = 46kΩ. The closest 1% value is 46.4kΩ.
