Part A
Part B:

LM2735 Datasheet
Parameter Value Unit Note
Input Voltage Range 2.7 – 5.5 V
Output Voltage Range 3 – 24 V
Minimum Duty Cycle X: 96, Y:99 %
Maximum Duty Cycle X: 5, Y:2 %
Maximum Output Current 1 A

Question 3:
1. Current Limit: To protect the internal NMOS switch, the LM2735 has a cycle by
cycle current limiting.
2. Soft Start: This allows Vout to increase at a controlled rate during start up.This
happens by slowly ramping nominal value of 1.255 V in about 4 ms.
3. Enable Pin : Enable pin is a switch which puts LM2735 in shutdown mode. When
low voltage is applied to enable pin, the part enters shutdown mode by bringing
current down to 80 nA.
4. Vout/Vin versus Duty Cycle (Equation):
𝑉𝑉𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 1
=
𝑉𝑉𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 𝐷𝐷′
𝑉𝑉 − 𝑉𝑉
Therefore: 𝐷𝐷 = 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑉𝑉 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖
