6 Results

The test results provided in this application note are meant only as indications of the capabilities of a system like this. Several factors as layout, switching frequency, component accuracy, and more will influence the final result. Layout considerations and component accuracy was purposefully not optimized in the testing to give a better starting point for less experienced designers, which means it will be possible to achieve higher performance by optimizing the design to reduce loss and increase stability.
